Stop Wasting Food is Denmark’s biggest movement against food waste – and Stop Wasting Food has initiated the fight against food waste in Denmark. Since 2008, Stop Wasting Food has both initiated and participated in over 200 local, national and international projects, events, campaigns, charity projects, research projects, debates and many other activities in the fight against food waste. Stop Wasting Food’s work on reducing food waste, gives more access to food for the food insecure people. Stop Wasting Food affected the Danish supermarkets to end bulk discounts and to sell food about to be expired at reduced prices. The sale of the food soon to be expired at the reduced prices, improves the well-being of food insecure citizens through enhanced health, nutrition and quality of life and and it reduces hunger and malnutrition. Due to the work of Selina Juul, more and more Danish supermarkets sale food soon to be expired at the reduced prices.
Stop Wasting Food movement movement is a very cost-effective NGO. Since 2008, Stop Wasting Food has both initiated and participated in over 200 local, national and international projects, events, campaigns, charity projects, research projects, debates and many other activities in the fight against food waste - usually with a very low/no budget.
Stop Wasting Food movement can be replicated all over the world - and already today, many countries have started their own Stop Wasting Food movements. Less food waste is your personal easiest effort in the climate fight. The focus on the climate is taking up more and more space in our everyday lives, and climate change is gradually becoming impossible to overlook. Many people feel insecure about what we need to do to reduce CO2 emissions. Fortunately, stopping food waste is among the most low-hanging fruits. Global food production is, according to the UN, the world's third largest CO2 emitter. And a third of all the world's food, according to the UN, is wasted - food that is grown and produced for no world's benefit. We can therefore make a big difference to the climate, resources and the globe by reducing our food waste. That's why the Stop Wasting Food movement is so practical - and a very hands-on and easy implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3

Stop Wasting Food movement has a new appoach in alle its campaigns: The new normal: How to communicate about food waste in the times of COVID-19. Because: In the times of COVID-19, our NGO experienced that more and more people are tired hearing about food waste and climate. The people are scared of the COVID-19, scared of losing jobs, etc. So right now, the intelligent communication about COVID-19 must be: save your time and save your money by saving your food. A positive message. That's why the Stop Wasting Food movement is communicating only positive messages in the times of COVID-19: ave your time and save your money by saving your food.
