Stop Food Waste Day is an annual event that aims to raise awareness about the global issue of food waste and encourage individuals, businesses, and communities to take action to reduce food waste. The event, which was first launched in 2017 by Compass Group, a leading food service company, involves various activities such as educational campaigns, cooking demonstrations, and initiatives to minimise food waste in homes, businesses, and food service operations. Stop Food Waste Day seeks to highlight the environmental, social, and economic impacts of food waste while promoting sustainable practices to minimise wastage throughout the food supply chain. By engaging participants worldwide, the event strives to foster a culture of mindful consumption and responsible food management.
