Detailed explanation-1: -Households are the major contributors to food waste globally. It is estimated approximately 40%-50% of food waste occurs at the consumer stage. The reason for household food waste is due to food spoilage, over-preparing, overbuying, food date labeling confusion, and poor planning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wholesome food that is currently wasted could help feed families in need. Safe and wholesome food that is currently thrown away could help feed hungry people and reduce food insecurity today. Each year, Feeding America and its network of food banks rescues around 3.6 billion pounds of food.

In short, wasting food increases greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to climate change.
