3 effects of food waste There are many effects of food waste, which hurt planet, people or people’s wallet. One of these is for example the fact, that wasted food mostly goes to landfills, which produce the methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas and it is considered much more dangerous for our planet than for example carbon dioxide, which means that wasted food is one of the causes of gl obal warming. Another problem of food waste which is also very serious is that, the food which is wasted in well-developed countries, is missing in other parts of the world, where the food is needed. There is a study, which says that, if the amount of food which is wasted all around the world were reduced by twenty-five percent, there would be enough food to feed all the people from countries with high levels of food shortage and never-lasting hunger all around the world. In my opinion it is sad that some people are so selfish, and instead of sending the food, which they wouldn’t eat anyway to pe...

3 ways to stop food waste at my home Sadly, across the world, about one-third of all food produced for people gets wasted. There are almost one billion people who do not have enough food to survive and also food waste adds a  problem to global warming. But of course, there are some ways that I can reduce food waste and the easiest way is to stop food waste at my home. The first way is I should write a shopping list for just the extras I need, plan meals for a week, and shop smart. Before I go to a supermarket to buy something, I should check the ingredients in my fridge. Because it is one of a way of food waste if I buy something twice and throw the old one away. Another thing is I should not shop when I am hungry. Because since I am hungry, I would like to buy everything in the market and I come back home with more than I need. When I buy more than I need, first I spend my money for nothing and second I waste more food. So it is better if I buy fruits and vegetables inste...

FOOD WASTE Why do people want to waste food? Why do people want to waste food? Fewer people would be hungry, less gases would be released to the air because we would need less food. In poor countries, most food is wasted during production and distribution. Instead, in rich countries, consumers waste the most food. It goes without saying that some food is wasted along the chain. Greenhouse gas poluutes the planet more than even CO2. Food waste that ends up in landfills produces a large amount of methane. The greenhouse gases such as methane, CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons absorb infrared radiation and heat up the earth's atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. As a first step, priority should be given to balancing production with demand. This essentially translates to lesser use of natural resources to produce food which is not needed. Harvesting, processing, and distributing processes If it is not enough, it ...

Food Waste Food waste has become a dangerous habit: we buy too much food in supermarkets, we let fruits and vegetables spoil take out at home or we order dishes too rich at the restaurant.Every year about a third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted.A little habit at home can change a lot of things. How limited is this food waste at home? -Buy only what it takes - Be rational when shopping. Make a list of what you need and stick to it. Buy only what you can use. You can, for example, prepare menus for the week in advance and buy only what you need to make them. For example my mother ask us to know what do we want to eat, she write the list and she goes to the supermarket to buy that specific food. -Use your leftovers- Instead of throwing the leftovers in the trash they can be used for lunches the next day, go to the next dinner or be frozen for another occasion.Invent new recipe. Fruits that become soft can be used to make smoothies or fru...
