It is a fact that many people are wasting a lot of food in their daily life. Food wastage is a serious and growing global problem. According to the statistics of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, one third of the food produced globally goes to waste either before or after it reaches a consumer.
There are many reasons for food wastage. People often buy more than they need, then forget about them and they go to waste. People also don’t know how to store food properly. Furthermore, the expiration dates on packaging of food often lead to unnecessary food wastage, as people tend to throw away food even before it has gone bad.
Food waste has serious economic, environmental and social implications. Every bit of food wasted represents an economic loss for producers, traders, restaurants, and households. In addition, food wastage contributes to climate change and environmental degradation through driving food production and its associated greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, when food is wasted, it means that those who do not have access to proper nutrition remain hungry.
In conclusion, reducing food wastage may involve using available food resources more efficiently and sustainably. We should buy only what we need, follow storage instructions on packages carefully, and check expiration dates to ensure that we are not trashing edible food. It is also important to organize appropriate campaigns and involve people to ensure proper awareness and engagement.
