Food is precious. The world is producing more food than we can finish. Yet, it is unevenly distributed, with the less fortunate going hungry while food is being thrown away elsewhere.
The Clean Plate Campaign highlights the importance of reducing food wastage by creating awareness of the environmental and societal impact of food waste, and instilling the habit of mindful eating. It is part of Food from the Heart's larger objective of redistributing food to the less fortunate in Singapore.
To reduce food wastage in Singapore, Food from the Heart advocates ending each meal with a clean plate.
Since its introduction in 2013, the Clean Plate Campaign has seen an exponential increase in participation: From five schools to 67 schools (a combination of preschools and primary schools) in 2024, alongside growing awareness of sustainability issues, we are committed to reduce food wastage in Singapore. With the help of teachers and student ambassadors, over 155,000 clean plates were counted across our partnering schools.
In 2024, we introduced our first ever World Food Day Drawing Contest where we encouraged children to imagine a world where there is healthy food for everyone and no one is left behind. We were thrilled that our inaugural contest received close to 180 entries across 15 schools, and six talented students won tickets to Universal Studios Singapore for themselves and their families! This year, our World Food Day Drawing contest is back for more! More details are coming soon, stay tuned!

Last year, with the continued support from our partnering schools, Clean Plate Campaign helped raise $75,000 to feed communities in need! Stay tuned to our socials to stay up to date with us!
We are also looking for corporations looking to support sustainability causes to join us as a sponsor next year. Get in touch here.
Habits are inculcated at a young age, and the practice of not ordering or taking too much food and finishing everything on one's plate should start in primary school. Together with support from Food from the Heart, we look forward to working together to promote healthy habits amongst our students and to make a difference in our future.
