The session was extremely engaging and interactive quizzes were also part of the webinar. Hero-Action-Plans which included one-of-a-kind ideas on how to combat food waste were also discussed with wonderful enthusiasm. A pledge was also taken by all the advocates and participants to minimize food wastage and ensure efficient utilization of food products and ingredients at the simplest and most basic levels of our daily lives. Undoubtedly recycling, recovering, and preventing food waste is the way forward!

As the famous food activist Tristam Stuart says," We the people have the power to stop the tragic waste of resources if we regard it as socially unacceptable to waste food. I simply believe food is too good to throw away with a little imagination, there are a million ways to use up leftovers rather than bin them."
