Food Waste, by Aron




Title.  Food Waste, by Aron

  Did you know that the EU wastes 88 million tons of food each year? Imagine a truck full of that 88
million tons dropping out on a wasteland and leaving it there. Wouldn't it be awful watching it and
feeling disappointment meanwhile? Thankfully there are many solutions on reducing food waste but
here i will just list 3. Buying only the food that we are 100% sure we will eat,have a pet or sth that can
eat the waste,plan ahead what you will cook and use the leftovers.
     
     When shopping an average person spends minimum 60$,now if we consider the junks that person
buys that he THINKS he will eat but in reality no,that 60$ would go down by 20$. If you think about
how many shopping you do in a month and minus that 20$ from each shopping,not only you save a lot
of money but you won’t have to throw food out because they are expired or just gross. If you pay
attention to what you will eat and what you won’t then you already spared minimum 100 kg food
waste.
    Having a pet is not only good to reduce food waste but a lovely company as well. When you cook
dinner for your family and there is bones or skin you never eat,you don't have to throw it away just
give it to him and usually it lasts for a few days.


    Plan ahead! When a week starts you should table what you will cook,what you will need for it and
the quantity you should cook. Having this charted will help you sort out how you should cook and will
reduce your average food waste. It's very useful to plan even in life because that will lead you
onwards, the same with cooking.

    Personally i think people could easily reduce food waste,they just have to pay a little more attention
on what they buy and how they cook. A little more attention would change the world and maybe lead
to a solution for hunger in Africa or anywhere in the world. If you think about it 88 million is a massive
amount of food and each year we lose it...

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   How much food is wasted (in euro) each year in Europe? You can do that and at the same time help the community by stopping food waste. You can stop food waste at your house by following three simple steps. It does not take much effort. Just do these three easy things:  First of all, the easiest thing you can do is check how much food you have in your fridge. Before you go to the grocery, you can check the quantity of food you have already. In this way you do not have the risk of buying something that you already have. Then if you already have it you will have the risk of not using it, and obviously it will get old and then you will through it away even though you didn’t even open it.  The second step, is to check the best by dates while you are at the grocery store. If you realise that you will not eat that product in those days or you are not sure, just don’t buy it. Otherwise, if you do buy it, buy it and then you do not use it, you will waste food,...
