Members of the Maasai community in Tanzania view food waste as extremely offensive, believing that it could lead to numerous deaths, contrasting sharply with industrialized nations where waste is common.
Food waste has become a pressing moral issue globally, particularly emphasized by UN goals aimed at halving food waste at consumer levels and reducing losses along supply chains.
The World Resources Institute highlights that reducing food waste is essential for feeding a growing global population, suggesting that halving waste could significantly reduce the food gap.
Interestingly, while we're striving to meet food demands in the future, this optimism overlooks historical contexts, where per capita production was much lower in previous decades.
