WED 2015 Food Wastage Survey |
|---|
|
On June 5th, I conducted a food wastage survey. My focus was to uphold one of the lines of this year’s World Environment Day Theme—“……Consume with care…..”
Since June 5th was a Friday (weekend in UAE), the shopping malls were thronging with visitors.. I visited the food court of a large mall in the city which was just as jam-packed as the mall. I attempted to target as many families and individuals as possible. I gave out questionnaires which basically tried to test their knowledge about various local food programs/initiatives and at the same instill in them a sense of cautiousness while consuming food articles. While they answered the questions in the questionnaire, I ensured I gave each of them my business card and a brochure of the Tunza Eco-gen platform. I recorded the results of the survey in the pie charts given below. I inferred that most people believe that they waste a minuscule amount of food and are not aware of local food management organisations. However, a considerable percentage of them are aware of the food wastage problem and are willing to take up initiative to solve the problem. |

Hey Manav!
I am sure this initiative of yours would certainly encourage a lot of young people to come up into the mainstream and working together to reduce the food wastage in U.A.E.

Good initiative , Manav. Food wastage is a serious problem.
Surveys help a lot in analysing the weak areas and scope of improvements and in deciding further plan to solve an issue .Thanks for sharing.

Agree with you, Rahul. Consumerism is a growing issue among developed as well as developing nations. Thanks for your words of value:)
