International Day of Awareness of Food Waste: ILSA's Call to Action

27/09/2024

In celebrating the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we at ILSA want to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous effort that goes into producing the food that reaches our tables every day. We fully understand the hard work involved in agriculture, as well as the research required to develop innovative solutions and the care needed to maintain healthy soils. Every item of food on our tables represents not just nourishment but also dedication, resilience, and the intricate balance of our ecosystems.


In today’s world, where many farmers face challenges such as degraded soils and climate change, it is essential to recognize the value of food as a precious resource. This awareness extends to the entire supply chain, which must increasingly prioritize sustainability and respect for the environment. The commitment to producing food is significant, and it is our responsibility to honor that commitment by reducing food waste.


To combat food waste, ILSA creates biostimulants and fertilizers specifically designed to improve the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, ensuring that the produce that reaches our tables is fresh and of the highest quality.


At ILSA, we are also committed to developing products that enhance soil health and optimize agricultural production, thereby contributing to a more sustainable food system. Raising awareness about food loss and waste means honoring the hard work of those who feed us and safeguarding the resources of our planet for future generations.
