Nourish - Prolonging food life in the home to minimise food waste and it's impact on the environment

我们的星球正在被垃圾淹没。在全球范围内，约有三分之一的粮食被损失或浪费，占温室气体排放总量的8%至10%。事实上，如果食物浪费是一个国家，它的碳足迹将仅次于美国和中国（联合国粮食及农业组织，2019年）。随着联合国计划到2030年将人均食物浪费减半作为其第十二个可持续发展目标的一部分，这一话题正在引起人们的关注。英国政府还承诺到2030年将英国人均食物浪费减少一半。解决方案/产品系统被称为滋养。该项目将开发一个产品系统，以减少生活垃圾。这个雄心勃勃的想法将对我们的星球产生积极的影响，因为每一个出售的系统都在避免食物被浪费，避免可能进入垃圾填埋场和排放危险的温室气体。

Our planet is drowning in waste. Globally, around a third of all food produced is lost or wasted, which contributes between 8 and 10 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, if food waste were a country, it would have the third-biggest carbon footprint after the USA and China (UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, 2019). This topic is now gathering attention as the UN is aiming to halve food waste per capita, by 2030 as part of their twelfth sustainable development goal. The UK Government has also committed to halving the UK's per capita food waste by 2030. The solution/product system is called Nourish. This project will develop a product system to reduce household waste. This extremely ambitious idea will offer a positive impact on our planet as every system that is sold is saving food from being wasted and potentially entering landfill and emitting dangerous greenhouse gases.
