This March,\u00a0Temasek<\/strong>\u00a0will shine a spotlight on sustainable food with\u00a0#ARecipeForChange<\/strong>: A month-long campaign highlighting how our food choices impact the environment. Presented by Temasek\u2019s\u00a0Ecosperity<\/a> platform, the campaign will focus on three key themes \u2013\u00a0A<\/strong>void food waste,\u00a0B<\/strong>uy local produce and\u00a0C<\/strong>hoose alternative proteins \u2013 with the aim of building a more sustainable world through advocacy on food sustainability and local food resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chew on this: Fruit and vegetables top the list of food waste generated in Singapore, which has increased by about 20 per cent over the last decade alone! In fact, the \u201cugly\u201d fruit and vegetables left unsold at supermarkets are contributing to this amount, as these unwanted blemished and bruised items often get discarded.<\/p>\n\n\n

This March holidays, grab your kids for a fun activity that teaches them the importance of food sustainability in the comfort of your own homes. Find the beauty in imperfect food through hands-on workshops hosted by Yeo Pei Shan, co-founder of UglyFood<\/strong><\/a>, as part of Ecosperity\u2019s #ARecipeForChange<\/strong><\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n

From \u201cugly\u201d veggie pizzas to traditional dumplings stuffed with imperfect produce, the whole family can learn a new recipe or two while picking up tips to avoid food waste. All it takes is a dash of creativity, a pinch of resourcefulness, and a whole lot of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n
