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.
