Food loss and waste (FLW) hampers global food security, human health and environmental sustainability. However, monitoring and benchmarking FLW reduction is often constrained by the lack of reliable and consistent data, especially for emerging economies. Here we use 6 yr large-scale field surveys...
In the United States, food waste levels serve as dominant components of land-fill masses, oil and freshwater waste, methane and CO2 emissions, damage to wildlife ecosystems, and substantial financial losses. Agricultural effects on the environment were investigated through various research studies, ...

In this study, we used a weighing method to collect food waste data from 1957 restaurants in 30 provinces in China to measure the amount of food waste in China's catering industry and assess its impacts on the environment and resources. Moreover, we simulated the effects of reducing food wa...
Roughly one third of all food produced in the United States is never consumed, resulting in the waste of food as well as the waste of resources used to produce this uneaten food [8]. FLW takes a significant toll on the environment thro...
The second highlights that when food waste is removed, the effects on wildlife and ecosystem processes should be monitored. The conceptual models are important when considering that large quantities of food waste are intentionally and unintentionally provided to wildlife around the world. We conclude ...
Confronting Waste and Solving the Problem at Home So how do we tackle food waste in America? The challenge isn’t to produce less food, but to waste less in the process. Here’s how we can start: Don’t misinterpret expiration labels on food that’s perfectly good to eat. ...
food-processing waste represents a substantial ecological burden. On the other hand, these waste streams are rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, thus hold significant potential forbiotransformationinto an array of high-value compounds. Indeed, the high sugar, protein, and fat content render...
Management of food waste is an alarming problem throughout the globe. Around 350 million tons of food waste are generated annually, of which about 60% come from households. The unscientific management of such a massive waste can have long-term deleterious effects on the environment, economy, and...
