Today is International Day of Awareness for Food Loss and Waste – and a just released survey shows that Kiwis still have lots of room to improve, especially Gen Z (those aged 18 to 26). The 2023 Rabobank-KiwiHarvest Food Waste Survey estimates that, in the past year, households threw out a whopping $3.2 billion worth of food, either because it had gone off or was past its ‘best by’ or ‘use by’ date. Veggies, bread, and fruit topped the list of wasted food. 🥕🍞🍎Garden to Table is helping to change this. Young children are empowered to develop their growing and cooking skills, and to become master composters. Also, when they come back to school in Term 4, students can dive into our brand new curriculum resource. The resource is called ‘Root to Tip’ and it's all about learning to use every last bit of food (including veggie skins). Together with our principal partner Rabobank New Zealand, our tamariki are learning how to ensure that good food never goes to waste. 😀🌱#FLWDay #RepurposeTheSurplus #foodsystem #gardentotable #growharvestprepareshare #kiwikids

Have you ever thought about the amount of energy—Qi—it takes to prepare a meal?Let’s start with the Qi needed for the food to grow. Of course, every type of food has its own growth process, but in general, a seed is planted and with the proper amount of water, nutrients, and sunlight, it grows into a seedling. Little by little, this tiny sprout flourishes until it reaches its potential and fruits. #tcmworld #perspective #tips #waste #time #neverwasteanything #requiresqihttps://lnkd.in/eYyEWgdX

Donna did a great job playing the sound bowls today. Donna is a coach who helps women access their higher selves. For more info, DM her on IG. Today’s lesson was about the importance of eating high-vibrational food, why you should eat it, where you should be getting most of your food, and why to pray over food. Eating high-energy foods helps us reach higher consciousness and to better connect with our higher source: God.You should be getting most of your food from the farmers market because the key difference between farmers markets versus supermarkets has to do with transportation. Most farms that supply produce to grocers pick items while they’re still unripe. Then, they transport them an average of 1,500 from the farm to store. When farmers reduce long travel times, they can harvest precisely what’s ready for consumption in the season. Those who sell at farmers market significantly shorten the distance from farm to table, so you can purchase recently picked, perfectly ripe fruits and vegetables. Plus, you can support the environment, as lower distances equal fewer carbon emissions. If you can’t make it to the local farmer’s market, check out @jrorganic they have custom boxes that you can pick it up weekly. Did you know praying over your food increases the health properties of your meal?It has been scientifically proven that prayer changes frequencies and food is a frequency.Expressing gratitude, giving thanks, and blessing food is an ancient energy technique.Prayer and gratitude may be the most important and profound energy techniques of all when it comes to intentional eating. So remember to do this, especially when you are going out to a restaurant. #healing #soundbathhealing #manhattanbeach #community #highvibrationliving

I am pessimistic about the human race because it is too ingenious for its own good. Our approach is to beat it into submission. We would stand a better chance of survival if we accommodated ourselves to this planet and viewed it appreciatively instead of skeptically and dictatorially. Rachel Carson in Silent Spring. An intro to "Nutritional value and flavor are frequently sacrificed in favor of the bottom line. Overall, Americans lack the information they need to make healthy food choices. Rather than take the time to educate ourselves, we seem to prefer to ignore the problems created by our current methods of food production. Additionally, we have grown accustomed to getting exactly the foods we want year-round, and farmers around the world are happy to meet our market demand; as a nation, we can afford it. Our planet cannot. Cooper Holmes in Bitter Harvest.

This year we have had a cuckoo experience in our veg patch. A huge squash plant has grown from what we can assume is from the spreading’s of our compost bin. Arriving in the Summer and standing about 4 ft high, it has at least 8 diddy squashes on it. Too late to come to full growth, but an interesting experiment to observe. We had thought about growing them in the past, but uncertain of the amount of space they might need. Now we know! Along with the support they will need to keep them growing horizontally and not to completely cover the patch. The squash’s serendipitous appearance made me curious as to how this example could be applied to improving our working relationships in healthcare. A far cry from the squash plant you might say, however, there are similarities:-We noticed its arrival-We observed its behaviour-We sought ways to support it-We learnt from its activity-We have planned for future growth and productivitySound familiar? DM me to have a conversation how you might apply these examples to your clinical environment. #growth #productivity #support #healthcarerelationships
