Tasha Leow's curator insight, June 29, 2017 10:49 AM

With delicacies at our fingertips and recipes beyond our wildest imagination, food can be recycled from scraps. Reducing our food consumption starts small. The key is to use bright tips to convert leftovers into something edible so as to prevent an excess of food wastage while helping to save the environment. In recent years, food consumption footprint has taken the globe by a storm, and hence there is a rising need to fix our bad habit and stop allowing our earth to bear the brunt of our decisions.

I think that food waste can be reduced in Singapore. After all, as a small country, measures to reduce food waste can be implemented more effectively as the population is more concentrated. While not many people are enthusiastic about eating unusual parts of an animal to reduce food waste, I think that simpler measures such as buying the appropriate amount of food to be eaten within their shelf life is a basic and simple means to reduce food waste. Such a measure helps people to understand how much food they really need and remind them not to buy too much food, resulting in food waste, and can also help them to reduce the amount of money spent on food to be used in other areas.

This is a really cool article! I always enjoy looking at food from around the world, so I automatically scooped this when I saw it. This is a article with a slideshow of school lunches around the world. At the very end of the photo slide, there is a photo of an American school lunch which is pretty embarrassing compared to Brazil and Finland. This photo series was taken by SweetGreens, and the school lunches were put together to represent an average school lunch, not necessarily what they have every day.

They talk about how each country eats what is grown around them, while US is processed food like chicken nuggets and chocolate chip cookie.

I really want to move to Brazil and eat their school lunch, haha! It looks so good. For dessert in Finland, they have a berry crepe on their plate! That's awesome! If you have some free time, then be sure to check this out!

5) Interdependence among regions of food production and consumption

Raychel Johnson's curator insight, May 25, 2015 6:46 PM

Summary: This article showed a series of pictures, which showed traditional school lunches of different countries. Greece's lunch included a Mediterranean diet, while Brazil's had rice and beans with greens, and the United States had its classic chicken nuggets, chocolate chip cookie, and mashed potatoes. The goal of this article was definitely to show what foods were incorporated into different cultures and climates.

Insight: Food is one example of a cultural trait, and quite a prominent one. Tradition may prohibit or encourage eating a certain kind of food, while long term climate also makes a large difference on the crops traditional grown in a country.

This is an excellent way to compare the impact that agriculture and culture in general have on our schools!
