The Upcycled Food Movement Is Making a Major Impact in Reducing Food Waste—Here's How to Get Started

    The Upcycled Food Association notes that upcycled foods are made from ingredients that would otherwise have ended up in a food waste destination. Currently, food wasted in our present food systems represents almost $1 trillion in losses globally each year. However, with a few simple lifestyle modifications, you can easily incorporate upcycling food into your daily routine. The impact is highly promising: Supporting upcycling practices has the potential to reduce up to 70 billion tons of greenhouse gases generated by food loss and waste. Here are five ways to join the movement—and help save the planet along the way.
1. Purchase Consumer Goods That Integrate Upcycling Into Their Products
2. 
Repurpose Foods You Typically Toss
3. 
Purchase Upcycled Groceries
4. 
Regrow Food Using Your Scraps
5. 
Volunteer at a Food Rescue Organization
