Introduktion
In recent years, the global issue of food waste has gained unprecedented significance compared to previous decades. It's a problem with far-reaching consequences that will impact every living organism on our planet.

Currently, on a global scale, we witness a staggering waste of food, accounting for somewhere between one-third to one-half of the entire food production.

The major culprits in this wastage occur during the various stages of production and transportation, and a prime example of this occurs in the United States, where millions of tons of food are squandered due to issues of quantity and quality.

Utdrag
The environmental repercussions of food waste are equally alarming. The production of food contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, further exacerbating climate change. Massive water usage for food cultivation goes to waste when the food is discarded.

Additionally, deforestation for agricultural purposes harms natural ecosystems and wildlife. The extensive use of fossil fuels in long-distance food transportation adds to the environmental crisis.

In this dire scenario, the solution becomes clear: we must make reducing food waste an imperative. The root of the problem lies in the mismatch between overproduction by the economy and underconsumption by consumers.
