Food waste has become a popular media topic, because of its relationship with sustainability: If food is wasted, the resources employed such as usage of energy, chemicals, water, land, and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production have been used in vain. Therefore, food waste implicates a negative impact on the environment. Between 30% and 50% of the world’s annual food production (or approximately 2 billion tons per year) never reaches consumers; in
developing countries, as much as 40% of food is wasted at the post-harvest and processing levels, due to poor infrastructure, low levels of technology, and insufficient investments in food production systems.
