Title of the Reading: 59 Organizations Fighting Food Loss and Waste
Response
After reading this article, I got to know that the problems of food’s loss and its wastage have taken a serious form in recent years. Up to 1.3 billion tons of food is lost every year in fields like transportation, at restaurants and markets, as well as in industrial areas. Personally, I think that developed countries are mainly contributing to this problem since some 220 million tons of food is wasted by their citizens every year, which is a matter of great concern.

Organizations like 412 Food Rescue, Zero Percent, World Vegetable Center, The Garden of Eating, Stop Wasting Food, Second Bite, Salvation Farms, Lean Path, and Imperfect Produce are forefront in this regard.

Food is not only a basic requirement for human beings but also is needed by animals and plants, so we should start preserving it from now.

I have observed that in under-developed countries, it is too difficult for people to raise their families and to provide them with good and hygienic meals. In contrast, in developed countries like Canada, England, and the United States, peop...
