Today, we're more aware than ever of the need to reduce, reuse, and recycle - and that includes our food systems. We can learn from the waste-not-want-not mentality of the wartime era, and apply it to our own lives. Whether it's meal planning, food preserving, or simply being more mindful of our food choices, there are many ways we can make a positive impact.
