Shockingly food waster causes about 10% of the gases destroying our climate's stability
there are many ways to compound food waste
land fills cause methane - which is more than 10 times morse on climate than even carbon emissions
menawhile burning wasted food still causes carbon emissions
food waste hapens when food spoils - most typically it doesnt get to a cinsumer before food goes off
you can analyse how this haens from big cities to farmers in developing country where produce goes bad before ist sold - for examples in sun tomatoes may only last 2 days whereas in chiled distribiytion they can last 20 days- countries without electricity grids have started to use solar electricity to develop cold stores near big markets but you can see how many pieces there are to this jigsaw
overall we live in a world wgere food prodyction and distribution is crazy!
in some countries main problem is starvation or in case of infants not enough nutrition to grow their brains and bodies (stunting)
in the wordls' riches nation usa, a minority have a good diet - larger number of people are either obsese r in hunger
wei has soem deeper data on this; japan nhk is one of best bradcatsers on this
and thts before we get to tyhe crisis of food waste
