Impact of Food Waste on the Environment and Ways to Reduce It
The waste of edible food is a major contributor to global warming, resource depletion, and other environmental problems. The waste of food results in the loss of the water, energy, and land used in its production. Furthermore, landfills filled with discarded food produce methane, a strong greenhouse gas that exacerbates global warming. Better meal planning, giving leftover food to food organizations or shelters, and composting are just a few strategies to cut down on wasted food. To help save resources and lessen environmental damage, we should waste less food.
Question: What additional creative approaches exist for lowering food waste, and how can people and groups collaborate to find a solution?
