Food waste adds pressure on scarce water resources in UAE - 1 views

  •  
    By Binsal Abdul Kader, Staff Reporter Published: 07:00 July 13, 2014 Abu Dhabi: Food waste adds pressure on the UAE's scarce water resources, according to a senior official of the UN's Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). The article talks about food waste in the UAE and how it affects the current issue of water scarcity. Since production of food needs water, so when it goes to waste the water used to produce goes to waste. In addition to wasting of water, all natural resources used to grow, process, package, transport, and to market in goes to waste. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation representitive stated that more public awareness is needed to inform the population of water scarcity. In addition to that he informed up to 30 percent of natural resources and energy used to produce food is wasted along with the lost or wasted food. That tells us that more water is even wasted, while other countries suffer from starvation and lack of water. This article interested me as this is new information so I agree that public awarness should be increased as this is a huge issue.
