Food Waste Along Supply Chain - 0 views

  •  
    The number of food wasted worldwide is huge. Our uneaten fruits and vegetables add to the total amount of food waste. Another, factor that adds to food waste is edible food being thrown out because of the self-life date. If there was a way for packaging to extend the life of opened food it would help cut down or food waste. Reports show financial, managerial and technical restrictions in harvesting, and the different climates in facilities have more to do with food waste.

    In this website it talks about the effects of fossil fuels and pesticides. It also mentions what we can do to help our environment .
  •  
    This is a pretty good article. It is sad how they mentioned that chemicals which were banned in the U.S. and Europe for being toxic are now starting to be used in developing countries. It is sad to know that there are companies out there worried more about their pockets of "one"(the company) rather then the health and lives of thousnds of people.

    It seems governments and people are putting effort to achieve sustainability. World Commission on Environment and Development said a sustainable society "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Living sustainably, there would be no waste, and we would use half the amount of energy and materials budget we do now. "We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge, and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation."

How to wage war on food waste - 0 views

  •  
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that Americans waste 30 percent of all edible food produced, bought, and sold in this country, although it acknowledges that this figure is probably low.Part of the problem is the heterogeneous nature of food waste -there is no single culprit, just many diffuse sources that add up to a slow and steady bleed on the economy and the environment. This site tells us what we already know, just some random helpful information in there that is fun and good to know.
  •  
    Everyone is responsible for food being wasted the biggest contributors being cafeteria's, restaurants, and grocery stores. The first steps to wage war on food waste are to buy conservatively and make just enough instead of to much. Also to embrace the three R's reduce, reuse, and recycle.
