The EPA’s Stop Food Waste programme is the national food waste prevention campaign, providing guidance and resources to help people adopt good food management behaviours and reduce their food waste.

This May, we will make people aware that knowing what food you need to buy can help you avoid food waste. The simple steps we want people to take are to:

• Know what food has run out, know what food you have and know what meals you want

• Record what food you need and plan your food shop.

Information and resources are available on the campaign blog:
