Nambi Odu In Association With Elampillai Runners - 1 Edition

Dear Runners,

This run has been organized for a noble cause to make awareness about food wastage in our country. We Indians are world’s 2nd largest country in wasting valuable food by 2022 and estimated to be the topper by this year 2023. Indian households waste 50 kilograms of food per person per year or 68,760,163 tonnes a year. In India, 40% of the food is wasted which is equivalent to Rs 92,000 crore a year. Every small event we are wasting 40% to 60% of food which has been prepared. In our country where over 400 million people go without food every day.

We do waste served food in occasions like marriages, birthday parties and so on. We also waste lots of foods in hotels. Even if it is excess food which is unserved can be shared and donated. But food wasted after being served would goes to dustbins or to the street, is un-humanity which cannot be donated or shared.

Wasting food is bad for the environment - including the climate. We waste about a third of all food produced for human consumption. This wasted food has taken loads of fresh water, land and labour to produce.

Food materials also been wasted by inefficiency handling in supply chain, storing and delivering material.

So please #Don’t waste Food:
• Plan before you make
• Order after knowing the quantity
• In events judge your attendee’s count
• Serve food after guest are been seated
• Deploy more people to serve exactly what is needed
• Take special care to serving kids

Why this run:
- Social awareness about amount of food wasted.
- Promote fitness around
- Promote running habits

“Don’t waste food. Before wasting, think about the farmer and his efforts to grow crops. And also think about poor people who are struggling to get food.”
