Food Waste Management

Globally, food waste has become an increasingly recognised environmental issue over the last decade. Not only has the issue of wasted food become an ethical one in a world where approximately 800 million people suffer from hunger, but the environmental impacts of producing food that is then discarded can no longer be overlooked. Most of the schools, restaurants are investing in ways to divert food waste

Instead of purchasing whatever is left on the shelves, try to buy only what you eat. Even if you are a food waste prevention whiz, there will always be some kind of peel, rind, or coffee grounds laying around that shouldn’t go in your regular trash. Waste-to-energy facilities don’t like to burn wet stuff, and food waste that ends up in landfills creates the climate pollutant methane. Food waste is intact energy resource that ends up rotting away in landfills which emits greenhouse gases in the environment, heating atmosphere thus leafing to climate change.
