Food Waste Reduction Practices in daily life

Reducing food waste by feeding dogs and chickens with kitchen leftovers

My family moved to the countryside away from the town centre about 2 months ago, the landlord who lives beside us has a pet dog and a couple of chickens. We feed the dog and the chickens with the leftovers that would otherwise go to the brown bins.


The dog is not picky but still doesn’t like vegetables, we feed the dog with meat, soft bones and bread. The leaves and rice go to the chickens.


Feeding the dog and chickens not only helps us reduce food waste but also encourages us to plan better when buying groceries and we tend to go for the organic options.
