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.

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.
