Definition
Food Waste is any food that is grown and produced for human consumption but ultimately is not eaten. most people don't realize how much food they throw away every day from uneaten leftovers to spoiled produce (Hall et al., 2009).
About 94% of the food we throw away ends up in landfills (FAO, 2012).
In this video we are going to learn important information about this crisis, please watch it carefully!

The food chain is a sequence of links that show us the supply of food at every level.
food can be lost or wasted anywhere along this supply chain from the farm to the store to us the consumer and enormous amounts of resources and energy go into growing, processing, transporting and eventually disposing of wasted food (Parfitt et al. 2010).
