"Bon Appétit Management Company is stopping food waste today. (And everyday!) 🙅‍♂️

ICYMI: Food that ends up in landfills releases methane, a greenhouse gas 20 to 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. That's why we participate in Stop Food Waste Day, a globally recognized day of action aimed at raising awareness around the impact of wasted food.

But fighting food waste isn't just a single day occurrence at Bon Appétit! Since 2007, fighting waste has been central to how we operate. We prevent waste by
🍳 Cooking from scratch in small batches,
🌱 Embracing stem-to-root and snout-to-tail techniques, and
🍽️ Designing our cafés to encourage mindful portions and informed choices.

All Bon Appétit accounts are committed to tracking food waste using Waste Not™, our proprietary, chef-driven waste tracking system. We capture real-time data on the quantity, cause, and destination of food waste, letting our teams make informed adjustments that prevent waste before it occurs.

We also partner with local food recovery organizations to redirect surplus food to community members experiencing food insecurity.

By addressing waste from field to plate, we will move closer to our goal of reducing food loss and waste by 50% by 2030. 💪"

Are regenerative farming practices better for the planet (and your health)? 🤔

Regenerative agriculture is a farming method that aims to rebuild the ecosystem by enhancing soil biodiversity and minimizing carbon pollution.

Commonly recognized regenerative farming practices include:

🙅 Avoiding tilling to reduce soil loss.

🪱 Rotating crops to reduce soil nutrient depletion.

🌱 Planting cover crops to increase soil nutrients.

❌ Reducing or eliminating synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.
There is not an established definition of regenerative farming, meaning research is more challenging. But there is some research out there! Some initial studies have shown:

📈 Improvements in soil health and increased carbon sequestration.

❓ Some nutritional benefits, but there isn't a lot of data out there right now.

Garden your way to good health with these 6 tips to get your vegetable garden growing!

Why gardening? Gardening has major health benefits, including reducing mental health issues like anxiety, stress, or depression; lowering instances of diabetes or heart disease; and increasing life satisfaction, longevity, and a sense of community!

1️⃣ Location, location, location. Most plants require at least 6 hours of sunlight each day, so find a sunny spot with well-drained soil or build a raised bed!

2️⃣ Plant rows north to south to maximize sun exposure and ensure tall plants won't shade smaller plants.

3️⃣ Start with easy-to-grow vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, winter squash, herbs, and leafy greens.

4️⃣ Timing is everything. Check your growing zones in the Farmer's Almanac Planting Calendar to determine when you should plant different vegetables.

5️⃣ Start small. Even if you have a lot of space, keep your garden more manageable at first.

6️⃣ Get buggy (the good kind!). Add pops of vibrant flowers (such as marigolds or bee balm) to your garden to attract pollinators and other insects.

Get out of a flavor rut by adding one or two of these seven spices to your pantry that feel new to you!

1️⃣ Cardamom is a spice made from a plant in the ginger family, which has a warm, aromatic flavor commonly used in South Asian curries and Scandinavian baked goods.

2️⃣ Cumin is a spice made from a plant in the parsley family that is native to the Mediterranean. Featuring a warm and nutty flavor, this spice is commonly used in Indian, North African, and Mexican cuisines.

3️⃣ Fenugreek is a Mediterranean herb that is a
part of the pea family! With a pungent and somewhat bitter flavor (like burnt sugar), this spice often adds a punch to Greek, North African, and Indian dishes.

4️⃣ Sumac is actually derived from a berry from a flowering shrub plant! The tangy and slightly citrus-tasting spice is used in Middle Eastern cuisines in meats and rice dishes.

5️⃣ Turmeric is a bright orange spice from a tuberous rhizome that is a cousin of ginger. Its pepperlike, bitter, and warming flavor is commonly used in Indian and South Asian cuisines and is known for giving curries their bright yellow color.

6️⃣ Saffron is a spice derived from the crocus flower! Often known for being the most expensive spice in the world by weight, its pungent, floral flavor and bright red color is used in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines.

7️⃣ Za'atar is a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spice blend featuring wild thyme, oregano, and other herbs often harvested by hand. The recipes vary from region to region, and other versions are known to include marjoram, sesame seeds, or sumac.

For our 2026 LGBTQ+ Pride Month campaign, we chatted with Vanessa Parish, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Q***r Food Foundation, to learn more about the origin of the organization and their diverse programs and collaborations. For the unabridged interview, head to the link in our bio!

❓ Can you tell us the story of the origin of Q***r Food Foundation — when it began, and how it came to be?
🅰️ While we initially focused on immediate aid for community members impacted by [COVID-19] pandemic-related job losses, the mission expanded as we connected with more q***r food workers and realized the systemic gaps in inclusion and representation across the food system.

❓ What are some of the biggest systemic barriers you see today for LGBTQ+ individuals in the food system, and how does QFF seek to address them?
🅰️ Many q***r workers, particularly trans and intersectional individuals, are disproportionately affected by food insecurity. Even as many q***r people are in low-wage food roles, they often lack safe and supportive workplaces where they can bring their full identity to work without fear or discrimination. There also has historically been limited representation of q***r voices in broader food industry conversations, [...] leaving gaps in mentorship, visibility, and industry support.

QFF seeks to address these barriers by building community resources, mutual aid, connections, representation, and advocacy so q***r food workers can not only survive, but thrive, in their careers.

❓ What do you envision for the future of the Q***r Food Foundation in the next 3-5 years, and the food industry at large?
🅰️ We would love to expand our outreach and in-person community building, deepen our industry partnerships, and continue the growth of mutual aid and structural support!

❓ How can readers get involved or contribute to the Q***r Food Foundation?
🅰️ Donations help sustain QFF’s mutual aid programs, directory, events, and community resources. Our current economic and political climate has made it increasingly harder to retain funding from larger corporations that were previously loud and proud supporters.
