Why this petition matters

The United Nations estimates that one in nine people in the world do not have access to sufficient food to lead a healthy life. More people are reported to die from hunger every day than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. But at the same time, nearly one-third of the food that is produced in the world is lost or wasted due to one reason or the other. Food wastage, which includes both food loss and food waste, is not only morally irresponsible, but also causes huge economical losses as well as severe damage to the world around us.

Food loss happens mainly at the production stage due to insufficient skills, natural calamities, lack of proper infrastructure and poor practices, while food waste occurs when edible food is intentionally discarded by consumers after they fail to plan their meals properly and store food till it spoils or goes past the expiry date. Nearly one-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption does not find its way to our tables.

To reduce these wastage - solutions offered are to improve our standard of fancy food or "ugly" food are consumable! Reproduce the leftovers into homemade products such as soaps, fertilizer and animals fodders. Join the movement and never stand alone with such changes!
