OK, then what? What to do to reduce food waste, and the impact of food waste on climate change, food security and waste issues? Let’s see the possible solutions.
Food waste and Climate Change
1.Reduce at the Source:
Implementing measures to prevent food waste at the source is key. This includes better forecasting of food demand, improving agricultural practices to reduce pre- harvest losses,
2. Support Local Food Systems:
Local food systems reduce the need for long-distance food transport, which not only cuts down on emissions but also reduces the likelihood of food spoilage and waste during transportation.
Food waste and waste management
1.Composting and Recycling:
Implementing composting and enhanced recycling programs, can effectively divert food waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and turning waste into valuable resources like renewable energy and soil fertilizer.
Food waste and food security
1.Food Preservation Technologies: Investing in and preservation technologies and practices will help extend the shelf life of food products, thus reducing waste and improving food security.
