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 instead of pre-packed so I can buy exactly the amount I need and with this tip, I can save some cash.
The second way is if we cannot finish the small amount of our food, we can put it into the freezer. When we are tired, we can take the frozen food out and we can eat it after a couple of hours. So we do not throw away the food which we did not eat before.
The third way is we can use FIFO method. It means 'First In, First Out'. When unpacking foods, move older products to the front of the fridge or freezer and put new foods in the back. This way helps us to use older products before they expire.

I just mentioned about three very easy and important ways, which make a shopping list, put the surplus food into the freezer and use FIFO method, to stop food waste at my home. You can start doing something to stop food waste right now. Because if we do not start doing something about food waste, not only poor people will die, all the universe will not have enough food to survive.

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 ...
