The Food Waste Book
The Food Waste Book offers a comprehensive approach to reducing food waste. Through in-depth research, the team addresses all aspects of sustainable food use, from purchasing to storage, and from separating waste to composting. This book combines solutions and recipes with practical guides to food storage, composting, waste separation and sustainable grocery shopping.
