Food Sustainability - Part 1: Food Storage
Food storage can be used for long and short term planning. Having the right amount of food stored can provide us with enough supply in case that for some reason we are temporarily away from our regular food supply.
You can buy the food already prepared for long term storing or you can do it by yourself by drying fruits, appropriate food canning, etc.
Before obtaining the food that you are going to store (it does not matter if you are going to buy it already prepared for storing or are going to do it by yourself) you should follow some basic guidelines so you can have a successful plan. T
These guidelines are as follows:
1) Find an appropriate place for storing
2) Have a way of how to keep track of it
3) Look in advance for any unexpected situation
4) What kind of food are you going to store
5) How are you going to prepare your food
6) Prepare for sanitary needs
There are several ways to store your food. Follow the guidelines provided; consult the internet or any person that works with this matter. In part 2 of this article series I will be providing with information about the appropriate conditions to preserve the shelf life of your stored food.
