It’s not difficult to stop wastage of food


FOOD waste is a global phenomenon. It is discussed at various world forums and seminars on numerous occasions but the many strategies and approaches adopted so far have not brought tangible results.

All we get is the magnitude of the problem at hand and the likelihood of greater losses at various stages of production, processing, retailing and consumption. A recent report by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) says about one-third of all food produced is lost worldwide.
