Did you know that food in landfills releases a greenhouse gas that is 20 to 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide? That's why we've been fighting food waste since 2007.

We're proud to help inspire a global movement to fight food waste through Stop Food Waste Day, which is the largest, globally recognized day of action in the fight against food waste.

Here's how we're working diligently to reduce our food waste:
👉 Preparing meals from scratch in small batches.
👉 Using snout-to-tail and stem-to-root cooking techniques.
👉 Prioritizing waste reduction and diversion in line with the EPA Wasted Food Scale.
👉 Tracking food waste using our patented chef-driven technology, Waste Not 2.0™️.
👉 Regularly donating excess food to community partners.

This year, we're lifting the curtain on how we use technology to reduce food waste in our kitchens. Learn more about Bon Appétit's waste commitments and explore food waste fighting recipes at the link in our bio.

How do we meet the needs of our many global crises, from food insecurity to combating the climate crisis? Never fear — beans are here!

As Beans is How points out: "The small but mighty bean offers a promising solution to these multifaceted problems as a simple, convenient food choice that is kind to our bodies, the planet, and our wallets."

There are four key reasons why beans are more sustainable:
🥶 Cool beans. Pulses release 90% less greenhouse gases than some animal proteins like beef.
🌱 Every fiber of the bean-ing fixes nitrogen. Legumes (the plants that grow beans and pulses) have nitrogen-fixing properties.
🧑‍🌾 Pulses and agriculture are meant to bean. Including pulses in a crop rotation reduces soil erosion and leads to higher soil carbon sequestration.
💧 Pulses won't bean missing water. Pulses are less thirsty than animals.

The additional bean-afits?
👉 They are fiber-rich, nutrient-dense, and packed with plant protein.
👉 They have a long shelf life and can be stored in a variety of ways, which reduces food waste!
👉 They are economically accessible, especially when scaled up to the extent needed to transform the food system.

Have you ever cooked with a cover crop before? You might be surprised by what you can make with these vital plants!

Most cover crops are turned into the soil before they fruit or flower to further enrich the soil, but others are grown for their edible (and delicious!) culinary applications:
👉 Legumes like black-eyed peas and fava beans are utilized for their nitrogen fixing abilities.
👉 Radishes and oats have long root structures that aerate the soil.
👉 Barley and winter peas help with water filtration.

Here are 5 recipe ideas to explore the delicious flavors of these important plants:
🌾 Buckwheat pancakes with oranges and honey | cover crops: buckwheat, wheat, and canola
