Shocking Data..!? How much food do we waste..?

No one can survive without food. We say that it is a matter of concern that many people are dying without food amid fears that the availability of food items will become scarce due to many factors such as price rise, inflation, unemployment, shortage of cash, and damage to agriculture. Moreover, many people in poor countries are unable to eat even two meals to their satisfaction. But shocking news has come out that proves that no one takes the issue of food wastage seriously. Can you believe that even though there is a trend of food wastage all over the world, an indian in india wastes 50 kg of food every year? The statistics are not only surprising but also shocking. 50 kg of food is wasted per person every year in India. This puts india second on the list of countries that waste food most negatively. Find out where countries around the world stand on food waste and what can be done to save wasted food.
According to the United Nations Food Waste Index Report 2021, it may come as a shock that 61 percent of the food wasted in india takes place in our kitchens. Statistics show that 69 lakh kg of food is thrown away uneaten every day in Mumbai. If we avoid wasting this food, half of the people of mumbai will go hungry. This means that the amount of food produced is much higher than the daily requirement. The impact of food wastage is not only a moral issue but also an environmental concern. Another report found that 33 percent of greenhouse gases are caused by a faulty food chain. china is the number one food waster. Every year, around 91 million tonnes of food is wasted here. Next is China. The sad part is that china, which has the largest population, and china, which is the second largest, are not rich countries, and many people in both countries go to bed hungry every day.This means that the top two countries in terms of population are also ranked in the same order in terms of food wastage. A strong emphasis on hospitality in the cultural heritage of india and china may also be a major factor in food wastage. Cooking too many ingredients and cooking too many types of food at the same time seem to contribute to food waste. But the kitchen does not mean only the home kitchen. It is also worth noting that the food prepared on important occasions such as restaurants, ceremonies, ceremonies, weddings, and festivals is wasted to a large extent. Apart from these, food items are wasted in many ways such as transportation of agricultural products, rotting of products, wastage, and if they reach people's stomachs, the word "starvation" becomes useless.
