Industry Expert & Trend Watcher Chef Mareya
Shares Her ‘Cool 10 Trends’ in Sustainability for Earth Month
New products, services and habit shifts can help prevent the number one cause of methane emissions
According to the USDA, around 40% of all food produced in the US is thrown out, translating to over 133 billion pounds and over $161 billion worth of loss. Food waste is the single most common material landfilled and incinerated in the U.S. and the largest contributor of methane emissions. Food waste is burning up the planet.
Chef Mareya, Mareya Ibrahim, is a 28+ year veteran of the food industry and trend watcher shares her ‘Cool 10 Trends’ on what’s next in America’s sustainable food scene and how we can reverse climate change with every bite.
What’s COOL in Sustainable Food:
O M Geeee I can’t believe I found it!
I have been outspoken about my disdain for ultra processed, GMO soy alternatives to meat but this is different. I found the meat alternative to my dreams!!
This cashew meat stuffed cabbage will fool even the most carnivorous in your inner circle and the story behind how it’s rescued will make you love it even more. Thousands of tons of cashew fruits are thrown away yearly from the cashew nut and juice industry. They use the nut and juice but discard the fiber. Cashew fruit meat 100% up cycled, meaning, it’s saved from the landfills. It’s a great sustainable food source and it’s super versatile in recipes, like my stuffed cabbage rolls. No soy, no gluten, naturally vegan, organic and sustainable.
Turns out we can make a better impact on the planet without sacrificing taste. Grab my recipe below and follow for more.
