Incredible but true: 313 kilograms of edible food are thrown away every second in Germany. As soon as the expiration date of yogurt is exceeded or an apple is no longer perfectly fresh, they end up in the trash. It's high time to put an end to this waste madness! The authors demand a renewed appreciation for how we handle our food. Engaging yet well-founded, they demonstrate how to reduce everyday food waste and make our diets more sustainable. The heart of the book is a collection of recipes that transform so-called food scraps into delicious dishes. The guide is rounded off by introducing initiatives like Foodsharing and the Ugly Food movement, which inspire readers to get involved.
