Who is wasting all of these food and why?
Resteraunts, fast food resteraunts, families, even at school cafeteria wastes food.
It is a hard thing to prevent the food waste from thes facilities.
According to the website,
Food is thrown away by producers, retailers, but above all by end consumers. It is a vicious circle that must be broken, starting by properly planning what we put in our cupboards. The European Union as a whole throws away about 90 million tons of food, at an average of about 180 kilos per person. “This waste comes from the whole food chain, from agricultural production to storage, processing, distribution, management and end consumption of food”, explains Soledad Blanco, the former Director of Sustainable Resource Management at the European Commission’s Environment DG. “Wasting food is economically damaging, environmentally wrong and morally unacceptable, especially when considering the quantity of resources required to produce this amount of food”. By tackling waste, we could guarantee up to three fifths of the increased demand required to feed the world’s population, which will reach over 9 billion people by 2050.
