STUDY REGARDING SOLVING FOOD WASTE AND FOOD LOSS
Abstract
The amount of food produced for human use that is lost or wasted is about one third. Food loss and waste have therefore gained significant attention in international policy circles. This is an alarming worldwide problem that creates negative environmental externalities in addition to threatening the viability of a sustainable food system.
Food waste and food loss are terms that relate to poor food management, which leads to unnecessary food disposal. Food waste refers to the intentional or careless throwing of food, while food losses include all stages from production to consumption, where food is damaged or lost for various reasons, such as improper handling, improper transport or improper storage.
