Donation

 A small help with a kind heart can given better life to someone:Pls Support/donate us for them and participate with us in social welfare/development. 

You might go on extreme diets or fast for religious reasons, but you may never understand how and why hunger kills more people every year than diseases like malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS, combined (USAID, 2012).

Let’s take a moment and put things into perspective – tonight, when you are in bed with a tummy full of yummy, 1 billion people across the globe will go to bed hungry (USAID, 2013).

Most people, and that is including me, wish to do something to make the lives of those less privileged than us, better. But we are clueless about how we’ll do this. If easing world hunger is a cause that you feel passionately about, TimesCity makes it easier for you to be a Good Samaritan with this NGOs where you can donate your leftover food. So at the next wedding in your family, or even the next party that you throw, make sure to not dispose off the leftovers. Keep it in clean containers, contact this charities and they will put them to good use.

 Please make your cash/cheques out to ‘AAS NGO’ and mail to :

What can we do to stop food waste ?

Motto: Love Food, Hate Waste! 

It's quite simple: ACT!

As a consumer, you have greater power than you think. You are the consumer - you decide what to buy and what not to buy. You have the power over the retailers - they do not have the power over you! Consumer power can change the world. Use it!

In the supermarket: Only buy the amount of food you actually need. Plan your meals, make a shopping list and stick to it. Shop with your head and not with your stomach. Don't shop when you are hungry - you are more likely to buy food you don't need. Use what you have bought before buying new.

In the kitchen: Only cook the amount of food that you can eat. Plan your meals and think about portion sizes. Share food with your neighbours. Make sure you empty your food packaging thoroughly. Up to 25% of food is wasted because it is stuck in the food packaging. Educate yourself and know the difference between "best before" and "sell by" dates.

After the meal: If you have leftovers, cover them and allow them to cool for about an hour before putting them in the refrigerator or the freezer. Remember that warm food will raise the temperature in your fridge or freezer and may jeopardize the durability of other foods in storage. Eat your leftovers and use leftovers in new dishes.

If you are a gardener: Use your own fruit and vegetables, instead of buying fruit and vegetables in the store. Donate fruit and vegetables to friends and neighbours, and preserve the rest by pickling, freezing, drying or cooking for the freezer.

Eating at a restaurant, café or at the cafeteria at work: If at all possible, choose restaurants that have a clear policy about food waste or that offer doggy bags. Only order the amount of food that you can eat. Share a starter or a dessert to avoid waste. Remember: you can always order more!

Speaking your mind: Encourage positive action everywhere! Encourage the food industry to donate edible surplus food to charities. Join consumer movements. Encourage politicians to act. Speak up! Stop wasting food!

AAS Compaign

AAS Campaign- Don't waste Food..........Food Wastage A Serious Concern

                                                   Food Wastage A Serious Concern

 

Despite millions of Indians going to bed on a hungry stomach, the country is letting food worth a whopping Rs 44,000 crore go waste each year due to lack of adequate storage infrastructure.

INDIANS waste as much food as the whole of United Kingdom consumes – a statistic that may not so much indicative of our love of surfeit, as it is of our population. Still, food wastage is an alarming issue in India. Our street and garbage bins, landfills have sufficient proof to prove it.

Weddings, canteens, hotels, social and family functions, households spew out so much food.  According to the United Nations Development Programme, up to 40% of the food produced in India is wasted. About 21 million tonnes of wheat are wasted in India and 50% of all food across the world meets the same fate and never reaches the needy. In fact, according to the agriculture ministry, Rs. 50,000 crore worth of food produced is wasted every year in the country.

The theme for this year’s World Environment Day campaign is ‘Think Eat Save’. It is an anti-food wastage and food loss campaign aimed at reducing the wastage footprint. India ranks 63 among 88 countries in Global Hunger Index. Wastage of food is not indicative of only hunger or pollution, but also many economic problems in the economy, such as inflation. Only government policies are not responsible for the problems we are facing today, but our culture and traditions are also playing a lead role in this drama. In India, the bigger the wedding, the larger the party and the more colossal the waste.

Why is food wastage a problem?

25% of fresh water used to produce food is ultimately wasted, even as millions of people still don’t have access to drinking water. When you calculate the figures in cubic kilometers, this is a bit more than an average river.

·         Even though the world produces enough food to feed twice the world’s present population, food wastage is ironically behind the billions of people who are malnourished. The number of hungry people in India has increased by 65 million more than the population of France. According to a survey by Bhook (an organization working towards reducing hunger) in 2013, 20 crore Indians sleep hungry on any given night. About 7 million children died in 2012 because of hunger/malnutrition.

·         Acres of land are deforested to grow food. Approximately 45% of India’s land is degraded primarily due to deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, and excessive groundwater extraction to meet the food demand.

·         300 million barrels of oil are used to produce food that is ultimately wasted.

The Minister of Food Processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal seems to have chalked out a roadmap. Yes, a map literally, which shows exactly what fruits and vegetables are grown and where.

She says, “My ministry works as a catalyst. It has the potential for doing a couple of thingswhich are the need of the hour. Firstly, bring down food wastage. Food is being wasted at the harvest point and during transportation. If the same food which is wasted can be processed, it would mean it could either be available in raw form or in bottled form at a price which is affordable to the aam aadmi.”

Food wastage cripples a country’s economy to an extent that most of us are unaware. If food is wasted, there is so much waste of water used in agriculture, manpower and electricity lost in food processing industries and even contributes to  deforestation. Taking all of into consideration, the actual worth of money per year in India from food wastage is estimated at a whopping Rs. 58,000 crore.

Some measures that the government needs to take include containing wastage in transportation, improve storage facilities (the cold storage chain is 50% less than required and that too needs to be brought up to world standards), food processing also needs to be sped up so food is saved and wasted less to feed more.

While you may not be able to reduce food lost during production, you can certainly reduce food at your personal level of food waste. Every step taken in the right direction counts.
