A really big problem in the world right now is food waste. People all over the world are wasting food when we could be saving it and donating it. Many people don’t consider it, but if we think for a second what we could be doing to help other countries and the US is a major contributor.
Every year we waste enough food for 3.3 billion greenhouse gases made per year. Also, “The Global volume of food wasted per year is estimated to be 1.3 Tonnes” (Morris). The top contributors are the USA and China. Out of all the food that is produced for the people only “..one third of all food produced for human consumption in the world is lost or wasted,” (Morris). Another thing that helps people waste food is that in bigger areas with more people this is normally a larger percent that wastes food, and the complete opposite in smaller locations.
So overall a really big problem in the world right now is food waste. People all over the world are wasting food when we could be saving it and donating it. Just think how many people a day in Africa are starving because of lack of food and dehydration.
