This article talks about the role non-governmental organizations (NGO) play in reducing food waste in other developing countries. The first point the article made was how organizations can help reduce food waste, The City Harvest in New York City is one of the organizations the article brought up, this organization is working to collect the excess food made and redistribute them to communities in need. Technology is another important tool used is gathering information as well as marketing information on food waste. Apps and other platforms help in connecting organizations with food banks and communities in need. It also enhances the process of the distribution and allows more community engagement. Other important notes on the role NGO plays in implementing change is educating communities on food preservation, helping them manage how much they purchase and how to use all of what consumers buy. Collaborating with local farmers and markets, this helps communities get access to healthy fresh food. Advocating for policy changes, it’s important for NGO to support policies that can make a change in food waste. These practices that NGO are implementing and many more are the steps being taken to help in reducing food waste and encouraging food management.
