A food rescue program is launched against food waste

Bede Róbert

Food waste is a growing problem in the world, which has many consequences, including food shortages, environmental stress and people’s livelihood difficulties due to ever-increasing prices. Irresponsible customer behavior further increases the already global food shortage, which is caused by extreme weather conditions (drought, forest fires) on the one hand, and transport chains that have changed due to various economic sanctions on the other hand, which means that even important, indispensable staple foods do not reach many places .

“As consumers, we can do a lot to stop this waste. We believe that with conscious planning and shopping, we can achieve spectacular results in everyday life. That’s why we started our conscious shopping program, with which we want to give concrete tools and useful tips, thus creating a chance for a better life. In connection with this, we also announced a tender where we are looking for food rescue recipes. Anyone can participate in the Etelmentő recipe competition, star chef and master chef Róbert Bede selects the final winners from the ideas received”
