#amount #food #year #businesses #households
Nowadays,
food
 is extremely important for every human being but a large amount of
food
 is wasted by both companies as well as by
households
. So, in the forthcoming, paragraphs I will discuss why a staggering amount of
food
 is wasted each year and what steps can be taken to solve
this
 problem.
To begin
, some
households
waste
food
 because they take it for granted and
businesses
 are not having proper management of the canteen is leading to
food
waste
.
Firstly
, rich families can afford
food
 whatever the cost is so, they don't care about the
wastage
 of any eating products.
Secondly
, in business ,places the canteen is not maintaining any policy or rule for the
wastage
 of
food
that is
 the reason why individuals throw any
food
 in the dustbin if they don't like the taste of a particular dish.
Therefore
, few
households
waste
food
 because they take it for granted and with no proper management
businesses
waste
food
.
On the other hand
, to tackle the problems, the government can run advertisements on television to showcase the people who don't get
food
 regularly.
Moreover
, the authority can make a law that anyone who wastes any eating item must have to pay a heavy fine.
In addition
, individuals will get to know, by means of advertisement, what will happen to all human beings if there is a scarcity of
food
.
Thus
, advertising people will stop wasting
food
 or can reduce the
wastage
 of
food
 to the lowest line.
Furthermore
, in business ,places the owner can appoint a special person who will be tracking of all the
food
that is
 being wasted from the office canteen.
Moreover
, the companies can come up with certain tactics that anyone who wastes
food
 has to pay a penalty. Apart from that,
businesses
 can even cancel the holidays of an employee who gets caught in a
waste
 of
food
.
Therefore
, certain rules like fines and cancellations of holidays will completely stop the
waste
 of eatables and it might get reduced. To conclude, some
households
waste
food
 because they take it for granted.
In addition
, some business lack proper management of
food
 wastes it. But the government can make people aware of the harmful effects of
food
wastage
 and with a few strict ,rules
businesses
 can control the
wastage
 of eatable items.
