I feel a sense of anticipation this Halloween and certainly happiness (Go Bluejays!). But it goes beyond the game to an attitude shift. Starting with a greater appreciation of what it takes to grow and raise food, so, it is not to be wasted.
Even something as simple as keeping pumpkin seeds from carving a Jack-o-lantern and roasting them for a healthy treat or baking ingredient - rather than a trip to landfill, is a step in the right direction. Pumpkin seeds are healthy and delicious. We explore the value of pumpkins seeds and two other food waste reduction ideas in Waste Not this November-December issue of Small Farm Canada magazine.
We also cover 150+ seed sellers and seed champion organizations!
