Global Food Waste and Facts!
By Zachary, Zack, and Tanner
As a globe, we consume and produce many products. DUe to our population as a globe and how much we consume and produce, much of the food we don’t eat because we’re “too full” to finish our meal, often gets wasted and into the trash. Every year, us as consumers in industrialized countries, waste almost as much food in the food net produced across the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. This is 222 million tons wasted to 230 million tons produced.
By 2075, the population of the globe will be around a total of 9.5 billion people. That being said, there will be around another 3 billion mouths to feed and sa it is now, our practices to grow, harvest, produce, and safely transport and buy our food is still a major issue, About 30% to 50% of food doesn’t reach the human stomach and because of this, many people throw out their food and waste it when simple ways of storing leftovers would help conserve our food production. Many people though don’t save their food for leftovers as they don’t like to reheat food or to eat it cold after the meal had already been somewhat consumed previously a night or two before.
Over the last five decades, our food production by reusing fields to grow new crops has helped stabilize the input of resources and output of resources for growth. The major problem with food production is the production of animal meats compared to vegetables. You could grow many more potatoes and more rice in a field rather than animals because it requires less land for the vegetables to grow compared to the production of meat from animals.
