Abstract

Food waste is a global predicament that spans across various socioeconomic, environmental, and humanitarian dimensions, presenting a critical challenge in today's world. Economically, the cost of discarded food amounts to billions of dollars annually, affecting not only individual households but also food producers, suppliers, and retailers. Socially, in a world where millions suffer from hunger and malnutrition, the sheer volume of discarded food stands in stark contrast to the millions who lack access to adequate nutrition. Moreover, the environmental impact of food waste is substantial. The environmental footprint of this wasted food is not confined to its disposal, but extends back to its production, encompassing the entire supply chain. This chapter aims to explore the various facets of food waste, its underlying causes, impacts, and the diverse strategies employed globally to mitigate and manage this critical problem, seeking a more sustainable and efficient food system for the future.
