Food waste is a growing global problem that affects the environment, economy, and society. Every year, about one-third of all food produced is wasted—around 1.3 billion tons. In developing countries, most waste happens during harvesting, storage, or transport due to poor infrastructure. In contrast, developed countries waste food mainly at the consumer level, often because of overbuying, confusion over expiration dates, or discarding food that still could be eaten.The impact of food waste goes beyond just lost meals. It leads to the waste of valuable resources such as water, land, and energy. Moreover, when food is thrown into landfills, it releases methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. At the same time, millions of people around the world suffer from hunger and food insecurity, highlighting the moral cost of this issue.To reduce food waste, action is needed from both governments and individuals. Policies that encourage food donations, improve food labeling, and support better storage methods can make a big difference. On a personal level, people can help by planning meals, storing food properly, and avoiding unnecessary purchases. Reducing food waste is not just about saving money—it is a crucial step toward a more sustainable and fair future for everyone.
