一场反对浪费食物的全国性“光盘行动”在网络上走红。

The “Clear Your Plate” campaign is launched in Chinese social media platform Weibo, inviting users to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their food.

China's catering industry has been urged to stop wasting food and promote moderate consumption. A proposal put forward by the China Hospitality Association on August 13 asked the country's catering businesses to create an environment where consumers are reminded not to waste food. Catering businesses should improve management and make data-based purchases to cut wastage and inventory.
