''🍞Reduce Food Waste🍞''
By: Preksha Mahajan
Would you like to eat a carrot that has two roots or a tomato shaped like a duck? If you ask most of the food buyers, the answers are no. Yes, it is infact very true.But what's the actual story?
A lot of food sellers think no one buys freaky-looking food items. In developing nations, a lot of food gets wasted when people order too much in restaurants. What doesn't get eaten, gets thrown away. As a result, each year, more than 1.3 billion metric tons of food gets wasted just because of some problems like not storing food properly or the way in which it looks like. Producing food that no one eats, in turn, wasted the water, ferilizers, seeds, fuel and land to grow it. Ultimately, more than 800 million people on the planet starve and die of hunger. More food is lost or wasted than is consumed or utilised. Also 9% of food is thrown away at supermarkets and 19% is uneaten and thrown away in homes. So, all we can do is taking small actions, though we don't have any solutions to this issue. One should make the adage i.e. ''Waste Not If You Want Not.'' as his/ her motto. There are many solutions to reduce this food wastage. Students should learn to avoid food wastage. By scheduling recess before lunch, schools can reduce 30% of food waste. Fresh food should be bought. One must think about the right quantity of food to be eaten. Rejected food i.e. regarded as 'ugly' shouldn't be thrown but given to animals or put into composts. If at restaurants, one should share side dishes to keep portions under control. Therefore, small actions can make many changes.
So, I would like to conclude that, ''It takes abut 100 days to produce food but it takes just 2 seconds to waste food.'' Knowing all this, let's reduce food waste in order to reduce deaths that are caused due to hunger and starvation because, ''There is enough for man's need but not enough for man's greed.''
Hope you like it! Please comment as your feedback is really very PRECIOUS. Thanks and keep looking forward to my posts. 😊
