THE PROBLEM


“People in Malaysia generated 17,007 tonnes of food waste per day in 2021." - according to the data released by SWCorp on 2022. Previously, it was reported that Malaysians produced food waste that can fill seven Olympic-sized swimming pools every day.

At the same time, we waste about 24% or 4,005 tonnes of food that is still edible. This is sufficient to provide three meals to 2,970,000 people for a day.

we are already wasting higher than the global average per household, while some in the community are still going to bed hungry. There was an urgent need for everyone to reflect on the food consumption culture.

 

THE SOLUTION


The project: Clean Our Plate 8.0 focuses targets SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) are launched to raise public awareness among Malaysian about the importance of food waste management and to educate the public on responsible consumer behavior, especially the youngsters. Throughout the 4 weeks of volunteering, the volunteer will be hosting workshops for students, a food waste management pitching competition, and running an awareness campaign. The donations will be used to help the needy and for further awareness education on the food waste issues.

 

 

THE IMPACT


Upon completing the project, the participants would have more understanding of the food waste issue and address responsible food waste behavior. More people would gain knowledge on how to reduce food waste and be more concerned about the food waste issues through the awareness campaign. Most importantly is to shape the mindset of young people on their responsibilities towards food waste.

The collected fund will be channeled to related NGOs to support the needy and rescue the good food wasted.

About the Organization/Project behind this Campaign

AIESEC in Penang


 

Our Identity

AIESEC is the world's largest non-profit youth-run organization. It is an international non-governmental not-for-profit organisation that provides young people with leadership development, cross-cultural global internships, and volunteer exchange experiences across the globe. The organization focuses on empowering young leaders to make a positive impact on society through actions.

Our Vision

AIESEC strives for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential as an organisation. 

In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not necessarily mean only avoiding war. Peace can symbolise a world that does not have conflicts that arise from cultural, religious, or other aspects of differences in humanity. Peace can also symbolise being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC strives to build a world where people can work towards their own understanding of peace while respecting and understanding the views of others.

Through Fulfilment of Humankind’s Potential, AIESEC strives for a world where people can be the best version of themselves.

Our Action

We place our confidence in youth because they have the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future. They have the responsibility to improve tomorrow by choosing who they will be today. Hence, AIESEC is a platform for young leaders to run projects that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure its relevance to the local community needs. We aim to be part of the solution for a betterment of Malaysia.
