𝐀 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤… 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
Food waste is present in every industry, and in every kitchen. While we all try to work towards reducing it to a minimum, and find ways to repurpose food that is still edible, this special week reminds us of all we can do.
Both the FoodWise and ER Hospitality teams were involved in various activities across the island, working together to raise awareness on the topic.
Here's a recap of the week, and the activities we ran together:
🍽️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭" 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐮
Rolled out at both Veranda Resorts and Heritage Resorts, this initiative was a great way to sensitise guests on menu options with a lower environmental impact. Skins, stems, barks, bones, and trimmings are transformed into broths, oils, aromatic salts, powders, and garnishes. Such as using the whole coconut, the fish skins and bones in preparations, or even syrup from passionfruit peels.
🃏 𝐀 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝
Focused on food loss and waste, this card game was designed to raise awareness on the whole ecosystem of the issue: from key data, to consequences, and of course, solutions. Delivered to Heritage Resorts and Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth team members, and at Mapou head office, games are a great way to learn and encourage all of us to change our daily habits.
🌱 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬
Two workshops were held for students at MITD La Gaulette and at ANFEN Chemin Grenier.
What a week it was !
Full of learning, knowledge sharing, and awareness on a crucial subject: how can we collectively help reduce food waste? Transformation, repurposing, and so many other approaches were discussed along the way.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐱 𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 is one built for the long run. Together, we're working towards reinforcing food security while reducing food waste, and driving educational efforts among team members, communities, and Mauritians alike.
