Reduction in waste is also a key step yes, one in which gains are being made. Teaching simple preservation techniques (e.g. oven toasting old bread) is also a good route to doing this.
It’s not about the individuals, I wasn’t even thinking of a household throwing away food when I wrote the comment. But the tons and tons and tons and tons of groceries shops throw out because people didn’t buy it. The harvests that are left to rot because transporting them wouldn’t be profitable. I don’t think me throwing out three day old bread is going to be that much less wasteful than heating up the oven rehumidifying it.
