Efforts to reduce food loss at home
Keep the refrigerator tidy on a daily basis!
Make a habit of keeping the refrigerator tidy, such as before shopping or every week. If the inside of the refrigerator is tidy, it can prevent waste due to forgetting to use it. It is also effective to write a large deadline on a food package. Make sure you understand the "expiration date" and "expiration date" correctly.
Make a shopping memo!
List out what you need and do shopping systematically. It is also important to use small packs and bulk sales, and purchase as much as possible.
Make the amount of food you can eat!
Let's make the amount you can eat according to the number of family members. If it remains, store it in the refrigerator or freezer and eat it as soon as possible. Also, let's use up the ingredients without waste.

Wise preservation! Rolling stock
The key point of rolling stock is to stock up while consuming in daily life. By repeating consumption and purchasing while keeping a certain amount of food, etc., you can maintain the freshness of the stockpile and live a diet that is close to daily life in the event of an emergency.
What you can do when eating out
Order as much as you can eat
Approximately half of the “food loss” from restaurants is food left behind by customers. Order the amount you can eat and reduce leftovers when eating out!
Utilization of cooperating stores
In Yokohama City, in order to reduce leftovers at restaurants, restaurants that perform “introduction of Komori Menu”, “response to those who want to take-out”, and “calling practices to reduce leftovers” are referred to as “cooperation shop” and introduced on a dedicated WEB page.

Let's take advantage of the food drive!
Use a food drive for unused unused foods at home (those that can be stored at room temperature with a shelf life of 2 months or more)! It reaches those who need food.
Let's take advantage of food sharing!
Through the app and the Internet, you can contribute to reducing food loss simply by purchasing food that will be discarded without doing anything at an affordable price.
Shopping at a great deal and reduce food loss!
