Food Waste Management – Food that is not utilized and thrown away causes a waste of energy. This practice immensely impacts the global economy, society and environment. Food wastage is a big problem in America, where they lose billions of dollars, puts a tax on natural and human resources and harm the environment by contributing to global warming and climate change. It adds to the landfills and produces the greenhouse poisonous gas methane.
