Every day, millions of tons of food are wasted all over the world. Why do you think this is happening? And how can we solve this problem?

#millions #tons #food #world
Recently, more and more
food
waste
 has been produced by
people
 around the world.
This
 essay will explain the reasons for
this
 trend as well as propose possible solutions. There are two crucial explanations for why
people
waste
 a huge amount of
food
. The
first
 contributor to
food
waste
 is the fear of privation. Various consumers buy
food
 without planning what to do with their
food
, which they think is necessary and do not want to lack it. Another cause of
food
waste
 is misunderstanding
food
 safety. Many
people
 do not know the correct way to store different kinds of
food
, which leads to faster
food
 expiration.
Moreover
,
people
 throw away edible
food
 just because they are out of best-before date,
although
 it is not spoiled. In order to reduce
food
waste
, actions can be taken from both sellers and consumers. For businesses like
food
 companies and retailers, it is necessary to provide more detailed information on the packaging,
for example
,
food
 labels or exact ingredients, to educate
people
 about
food
, while they still have to make sure that
food
 is safe for consumption. For the consumer, planning meals and ingredients for a week or two before buying
food
 is the easy way to prevent over-purchasing, or they can try to recycle leftovers to use in the following meals. In conclusion, health concerns and lack-of-
food
 fear are the principal reasons for
food
waste
, which can be tackled by informing consumers about
food
 labels and planning
food
 meals
