Daisy Scholte is on a mission to show people how to avoid food waste.
The biggest cause of food waste in the Netherlands is domestic food waste. Daisy Scholte learns people how to decrease this type of waste.
She has definitely set her mind on this mission and she won’t stop. Not wasting food for her is a way of life and work. She really cares and tells to as much people as possible that in the Netherlands alone we waste around 1/3 of the food that is available to us. And that must be stopped.
Daisy Scholte tells people not to waste food. For her it's a way of life as well as her job, and she works hard to reach her goals. “Day and night if I have to”, she says. “Nobody asked me to write a book... Nobody paid me to write a book... And nobody warned me how tough it is to write a book. I'm not going to get rich and famous, now my book has been published. I didn't do it for those reasons. I did it because I care and because I'm passionate about the subject of food waste.
