The Xinbei municipal government held a unique wedding banquet on the 22nd at the Huiyao non-toxic vegetable Garden in Tucheng District. Under the witness of Coco Lee, director of agriculture, "special fruits and vegetables" and "cherish food sharing restaurant" tied the knot, symbolizing the catering industry's acceptance of the use of extra fruits and vegetables and the spirit of not wasting ingredients. At the same time, it called on the "one-day chef" to participate in the "Christmas Food sharing Festival" on December 23 and 24 to cook thick soup to convey warmth.

Reducing food waste is an important global issue. New Taipei City promotes the "Food sharing Network" project, which brings together the efforts of the municipal government and the public to solve the problem of waste and surplus food at source in a systematic way. At the source, the "cherish Food sharing Restaurant" program mediates the use of organic, friendly grade special products of fruits and vegetables to save good ingredients that might have been wasted in the production and marketing process. Now 32 restaurants in Shuangbei City have responded. Coupled with the number of fruit and vegetable companies kindly donated to the elderly, about 700 metric tons of extra fruits and vegetables have been distributed so far. On the other hand, the "empty disk campaign" promoted by the New North Campus encourages all students to eat up their nutritious lunches and cultivate the habit of taking meals appropriately and leaving no leftovers from an early age, which can reduce food waste by about 383 tons a year. In order to improve the phenomenon that Chinese people often leave a lot of food leftovers, they also actively advocate "order carefully before meals and cherish food packaging after meals." this can reduce the restaurant's food waste by nearly 60% and reduce the burden on the environment.

Coco Lee, director of agriculture, said that the sustainability of the food-sparing campaign depends on the fact that every Chinese can give full play to the spirit of food-sparing. From 2: 00 p.m. to 6: 00 p.m. on December 23 and 24, the 3rd Christmas Food sharing Festival will be held in the square in front of Banqiao Station. This year, the exhibition area will be connected with four major themes to share the actions that can be implemented in daily life. "preserving food", "friendly food", "collecting food" and "rich food", while the highlight "Disco soup swing Soup" takes Le t's Cook Disco Soup as a call to invite "one-day chefs" from all over the country to participate in cooking swing soup and distribute it to friends and elderly people who come to New Taipei for Christmas, so that the warmth of cherishing food can be passed on.
