We waste 1.3 billion tons of food each year, which is enough to feed the world’s malnutritioned and poor population four times over. We produce much more food compared to our need. So why all the waste?
About half of the food we produce goes to waste and not into bellies of people, and it’s not the producers, farms and markets that sell the food that are doing all the wasting. It’s the consumers. According to some reports, almost half of the food waste happens at households. And when the food is wasted, all the products that were used to grow/produce that food goes to waste too. Us, the consumers are a big part of the problem but the good news is that it is possible to be the part of the solution. With enough public attention it is easier to do such recycling projects.
Converting these wasted food via recycling methods that turn them into burnable fuels such as methane, and not even wasting them in the first place we can make the world a much better place and leave our offsprings a good world.
