Reducing Footprints; a tried and tested approach

upstream Food Supply Chain Resilience – more sustainable food sources
Another way is for: Policymaking Projects on RRR’s
The FAO (2013) Toolkit publication promotes the REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE/RECOVER MESSAGE
But Societal Change can manifest ‘unsustainability’

So how can existing food technology Nudge Sustainable Food Consumption in right direction ??
Without Industry Food Standards – the prospect of more Sustainable Food Consumption would be negligible
Billions of people eat food safely due to the MOFP….
The Method of Food Preservation fundamental technology that has and can reduce food spoilage and food waste
THE NEED TO EXTEND SHELF - LIFE defined the arrival of new METHODS OF FOOD PRESERVATION >> beginnings of Food Resource Utilisation >> beginnings of Sustainable Food Consumption
Removing a key Blind Spot Education
Drying – Salting – Smoking - Pickling Block Ice & Icing Canning e.g. Beginnings of Food Resources Utilisation
Freezing of Food
Clarence Birdseye’s invention of FREEZING step-changed global Food Resources Utilisation
Time - Illustrative
HACCP/HAZOPS EU Vertical & Horizontal Regulations
Drying, Salting, Smoking, Pickling Food Safety & Codex Icing Freezing of Food Quality Assurance ISO 9000 TQM etc National Regulations Canning
MOFP has been core to evolution in Food Industry Standards

Now: A new phase to Maximise Food Resources
Eco labelling & Verification Schemes Conservation; Sustainable Development; SC Resilience ‘Water/Waste Management Carbon Measure & Management
Food Resource Utilisation Potential
Re-Cycling to RRR’s Circular Economy NOW
2012: No actual In-home data on MOFP vs behaviours

Frozen vs Chilled in home; Frozen Meals, Chicken, Fish, Field Veg and Potato products
Consumer Insights: around MOFP are significant

Eating frozen food generated 47% less food waste
Freezing Maximises Food Resources due to an inherent high ‘FRUP'
FRUP: derived from the Method of Food Preservation
‘Food Resources Utilisation Potential’ = The level that any given food resource can be maximised in a given supply chain

2015 - 2020
Policymakers; Academics & Industry need to give similar Messages: How to access & handle food better to reduce waste
