How to cut food waste? Consider non-plastic storage options like airlock glass containers and reusable, beeswax-covered cloth as a plastic wrap alternative (25 September, p 42).
Waste can also be reduced with a focus on properly stored, naturally long-lasting foods such as cold-stored cruciferous and root veggies, jar-stored nuts, dried fruit, grains and beans. Cooking from dried is a good non-waste option.
