Article: Food wastage Food wastage Do you know what amount of food is being thrown away worldwide each year? The figures don’t lie and show that over 2.5 trillion US dollars are wasted on this issue. Should this global issue be taken more seriously than we actually are doing? To begin with, governments might make new laws in order to reduce food and loss waste. For example, manufactures/producers must make smaller resealable packages that would help to keep food in good conditions for longer. In addition, consumers would be grateful if the “sell and buy dates” were clearer. In other words, governments should act immediately by establishing efficient production. Why we need to reverse this trend? Global warming is increasing due to the food wastage. It is important to know that food production depends on fossil-fuel energy is used in many processing stages, as cooling and transporting, for example. On the other hand, big areas of land are deforested annually to grow food. That matters to us, if we want to leave a clean environment to our children. So, everybody must take part in this huge issue by being aware that we only need to buy that we really will eat.
