Food waste
You might think that we are not wasting food but actually, we are wasting a lot. People are going without food they have started campaigns and research to help this cause and that’s a good thing because would you like to go without a meal or if you steal had the same amount of meals they would have less food. Some of these people don’t have enough money to pay for food.
We are wasting too much food we need to do something and they have. An initial literature review into household food waste was undertaken in 2013 and found out that a lot of available information on food waste in New Zealand was out of date so they couldn’t do that so.
Research into supermarket food waste was conducted by Otago University in partnership with Waste MINZ from 2017 to 2018. The site inspections were conducted in 20 cafes and restaurants around the country by the University of Otago and Waste MINZ. Food waste was collected and analyzed to understand how much food is wasted. We could take in all of the wasted food and turn it into compost like reclaim they take meats, dairy fruits, vegetables and other things instead of putting it into landfills which releases methane.
The results of the research, Food waste in the cafe and restaurant sector in New Zealand.
studies have shown that the average household throws away three shopping trolleys worth of food a year. That’s 157,398 tonnes or $1.17 billion worth of avoidable food going straight to landfill. There, it’ll decompose and release methane – a harmful greenhouse gas which by some measures is 25 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. On a global scale, more than $1.2 trillion worth of food goes to landfill every year, making approximately 8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Auckland Council conducted 27 in-depth interviews with individuals who were responsible for purchasing and/or preparing food within their households. The interviewees resided in various locations around the Auckland region and each spent a week recording their food waste in a food waste diary before being interviewed.
When we are putting all the waste in the landfill we could be saving millions if we didn’t buy all the wasted food if we did that we wouldn’t have to waste our time putting it into landfill and save money by not having to maintain the landfill and pay to get the waste moved so we could save a lot of money, food and time by just doing these little things.
Research shows those who eat out more than three times a week are more likely to waste food, wasting around 21 percent of all food purchased.
So, in conclusion, we can save a lot and do a lot. Remember when you go shopping remember do you really need all of that will you eat it all because if you don’t where will it go to the landfill. You could get a compost bin just remember where will your food waste go try to cut down. Thank you.
