Food Wastage


Food Wastage
Developed World Food Shortage

PROPHET   MOHAMMAD SAW,    prohibited all types of wastage particularly the food wastage
The reason is …………..?

    There are nearly one billion malnourished people in the world mostly in the developing and the underdeveloped world and with the recent food crisis , spiraling food prices across the globe in recent times and the numerous figures regarding demand outstripping supply , there are some astonishing faults about the global food trends that it corrected can solve the food crisis in the long term . in the USA , 40 million tonnes of food is wasted by households, retailers and food services each year which is enough to satisfy the hunger of the nearly 1 billion malnourished people on the earth. The total quality of water used globally for irrigation and the amount of food that goes wasted is estimated to be enough for domestic needs (at 200 litres per person per day ) of nine billion people –the expected population of the planet by 2050. With the climate change and global warming crises looming and the reduction of the global green cover, a study suggests that afforestation on land currently used  to produce surplus and wasted food can offset a theoretical maximum of 100% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. in fact , rich countries' 10% greenhouse gas emissions are produced from preparing food that is never eaten. UK, US and Europe have nearly twice as much food as required by their populations.if crops wastefully fed to livestock are included, European countries have more than three times more food than they need, while the US has around four times more food than needed.
