Description

With a growing global population, greater pressure to do ecologically beneficial acts, and a changing climate, food waste and food security have emerged as some of the top concerns for researchers and policy officials.

A sustainable food security strategy is impacted by the rising amount of food waste and food losses at all stages of the supply chain, according to several studies.

The enormous amount of food that is wasted has a detrimental effect on the economy, society, and environment.

In addition to the social injustices that result from some people having too much food while others go without, food waste also has an impact on the environment.

On the one hand, there is the issue of waste's environmental impact. Overconsumption, on the other hand, indicates the wasteful use of production capacity and resources, which has a detrimental influence on the environment through greenhouse effects or water waste.

Furthermore, food waste causes significant costs for several enterprises in the supply chain as well as the economy in general.

Our society's modernity and progress has produced a picky consumer who generates a large number of food leftovers each year.
