What reduces household food waste most?

Meal planning plus correct storage. Roughly a third of food waste at home is produce that spoiled before it was cooked, which storage temperature and visibility largely solve.

Yes — bokashi bins and municipal food-waste collection both divert organics from landfill, where they generate methane.
