THEME: TACKLING OVERCONSUMPTION OF FOOD

Overconsumption of food is an act of consuming more than what is necessary for basic health and well-being.

This is a global issue with serious environmental, economic, and health implications.

As home economists, it is our responsibility to foster awareness and encourage practical solutions that can help tackle this issue, not just in our homes, but also in our communities and beyond.
