Celebrate Sustainable Gastronomy Day with these air fryer meals made with just 5 ingredients or less
Minimize food wastage and maximize your mealtimes with the help of the Philips Essential Airfryer XL
Manila, Philippines – Sustainable Gastronomy Day was first celebrated on June 18, 2017. Created to spotlight seasonal ingredients and the need to preserve the environment, its significance is more relevant today than it’s ever been.
Sustainable Gastronomy accounts for where ingredients are from, how they’re made, how they get delivered to markets and ultimately – to our plates. Despite heightened awareness around sustainability in recent times, there is still much work to be done to preserve our natural resources by moving away from producing food at a level that comes at the cost of our planet.
According to estimates from the United Nations, around one third of all food produced globally ends up lost or wasted. To offset the strain making food puts on the environment, it’s not enough for only food producers to be mindful of how they use natural resources. As consumers, we too must become more selective in terms of how we choose, prepare, and consume our food.
There are many ways to add some sustainability into our eating habits. We can support local producers, eat seasonally, and avoid food waste by maximizing what we buy and incorporating any excess ingredients into other meals.
