Hotels in developing countries reduce food waste

Luxury hotels and restaurants in developing countries are figuring out ways to reduce the amount of food waste they produce, NPR reports. Some hotels have partnered with nearby farms to deliver food waste to feed hogs while others compost waste into fertilizer. Luxury resort Soneva Fushi in the Maldives conducted a food waste audit in 2016, weighing and recording food waste to determine how much food guests wasted. “I think part of the benefit of a detailed audit like this is that it increases everyone's mindfulness about what they are doing with food,” said Gordon Jackson, the manager of the resort's "Waste-to-Wealth" initiative. “This has really helped everybody throughout the food-and-beverage team and the organization as a whole just to think about what they are doing.”
