    Although there are many resources needed for food production, the smallest gesture towards saving food is an improvement. We need to utilize the most food possible in hopes to reduce our wastage by at least 15 percent. Twenty five million citizens do not have the means to get food on the tables, they could be fed by giving what we don't use or don't need.

    While the study isn't on food waste, specifically, there's plenty of insight on the topic. "Digging" found that food was the single largest material generated by schools, amounting to 24 percent of the total waste generated. That's about double the percentage in the (regular) municipal solid waste stream!
