Today our conversation dives deep into a strategy we teach in Cowgirls Over Coffee called “The Umbrella Focus”.

Matsvinn og matvinn i Aurskog
På sykehjem og institusjoner i Aurskog-Høland kommune gikk 22 tonn spiselig mat rett i avfallet, hvert år. Det skal kommunen ha slutt på. Matsvinn er mat som kunne blitt spist. Det er altså ikke det samme som matavfall, som er deler av matvarene som ikke kan spises.
