Everyday millions of tons of food is wasted all over the world. Why do you think this is happening? How can this be solved?

Despite the fact that there are still some nations around the world that cannot afford to feed their citizens, there is a massive amount of

food

being wasted. In

this

essay, I will discuss some key reasons that are attributed to

this

problem

and

also

suggest ways to address it. There are two primary culprits why

food

waste is pervasive on a global scale.

Firstly

, the lower price of

food

relative to income has been a significant driver of

this

problem

.

As a result

of technological advances, namely the more efficient equipment, the cost of growing and manufacturing

food

products has become much cheaper in recent years and

this

has been passed on to the consumer.

Secondly

, it is common that many people often have a poor plan or even do not have one when buying and preserving

food

. It means supplies of

food

are acutely abundant, which does not motivate people to give careful consideration to how they buy and store their daily

food

requirements, especially in the case of fresh

food

.

As a result

,

food

is left idle, and eventually it rots and gets thrown away. Some measures can be taken to mitigate the

problem

. From the authorities’ perspective, they should raise awareness about wasting

food

.

In other words

, they need to promote public campaigns about the repercussions of

food

waste via a variety of channels,

such

as social media, newspapers, magazines and leaflets so that the community will feel more inclined to become

food

the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in monotheistic religions

God

-conscious and avoid exacerbating the bad use of

food

. From a personal perspective, individuals and families should become more responsible for what they buy or eat on a daily

basis

Suggestion

Basis

. One way to do

this

is by making a list of materials and ingredients and checking it thoroughly before going to the market, and

this

will render the purchase of unnecessary

food

much less likely. In conclusion,

food

waste is generally caused by the low cost of

food

and the greater abundance of

food

compared to previous periods.

However

, governments and people can still do a lot in order to solve

this

problem

,

for example

, individuals can prepare their lists of ingredients more carefully before going to the supermarket.
