UNIT 1

Introduction

A significant amount of food is wasted globally. This problem is widespread and multifaceted, involving both food production, supply chains, restaurant and store operation, as well as consumer habits. The latest data indicates that each European Union resident throws away an average of over 130 kilograms of food waste annually while there are still people in the world suffering from hunger and inadequate nutrition.

Creating shopping lists, organizing products in the refrigerator based on their expiry dates, and using measuring utensils are just a few methods to reduce food waste.
