are wasted.

This

essay will discuss the causes and solutions to

this

problem. Two main reasons behind

food

waste are the increase in income and the modern throw-away culture. In our society, we have an average income of $3000 every month compared to $100 per month 50 years ago,

encourages people to dump the foods they do not like.

In other words

, throwing

second reason, the modern throw-away culture promotes the thought of everything can be discarded despite its value.

For example

, a Tiktok influencer kept telling his viewers that most of the leftovers are thrown in the bin simply because he did not find them delicious anymore.

Therefore

, unless actions were taken,

this

issue will only worsen. There are two solutions to

problem which are increasing the cost of

food

disposal and organising awareness-raising campaigns.

Food

disposal is free in most countries but in South Korea, they charge a fixed cost for every 100 grams of

in the world.

Therefore

, imposing a fixed cost on

food

disposal, causes their citizen to not waste

as there will be additional charges.

food

. Simply put, starting a campaign on educating the public on why

food

should not be wasted will change the public's mindset on the modern throw-away culture. In conclusion, tackling
