Food Waste Management
- 1. Food Waste Abhishek Guddu 14111003 IIT Roorkee
- 2. Statistics Half of all food is wasted worldwide, according to the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME). The global volume of food wastage is around 1.3 billion tonnes. The total volume of water used each year to produce food that is lost or wasted (250 km3) is equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River, or three times the volume of Lake Geneva. Similarly, 1.4 billion hectares of land - 28 percent of the world's agricultural area - is used annually to produce food that is lost or wasted.

- 3. India According to the United Nations Development Programme, up to 40% of the food produced in India is wasted. In fact, according to the agriculture ministry, Rs. 50,000 crore worth of food produced is wasted every year India ranks 63 among 88 countries in Global Hunger Index. Wastage of food is not indicative of only hunger or pollution, but also many economic problems in the economy, such as inflation. Only government policies are not responsible for the problems we are facing today, but our culture and traditions are also playing a lead role in this drama. In India, the bigger the wedding, the larger the party and the more colossal the waste.

- 5. Why food wastage is an issue? 25% of fresh water used to produce food is ultimately wasted, even as millions of people still don’t have access to drinking water. World produces enough food to feed twice the world’s present population. The number of hungry people in India has increased by 65 million more than the population of France. According to a survey by Bhook (an organization working towards reducing hunger) in 2013, 20 crore Indians sleep hungry on any given night. About 7 million children died in 2012 because of hunger/malnutrition. Approximately 45% of India’s land is degraded primarily due to deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, and excessive groundwater extraction to meet the food demand. 300 million barrels of oil are used to produce food that is ultimately wasted.

- 8. At the store Shop smartly: Avoid impulse buys,use all before buying more. Buy exactly what you need: purchase the exact amount you will use. Be realistic. Buy funny-looking produce. source:https://www.google.co.in/search?espv=2&rlz=1C1PDZP
- 9. At home Practice FIFO. Monitor what you throw away Plan your meals around the products that are closest to their expiration. Designate one dinner each week as “use it up” meal. Eat leftovers! Use it all. Store better. Understand expiry dates.
- 10. During mealtime Check in with your belly. Always taste before taking a whole lot. Split the dish. At restaurants A consumer survey showed that 41% of those surveyed blamed oversized portions for leaving food. multiple serving size Take home leftovers Educate other people: Sure, nobody likes a Debbie Downer at the dinner table. But turns out simply being aware of the issue of food waste can help make people more attentive to wasting less source:https://www.greeneking.co.uk/

- 13. Energy recovery from food waste Composting Composting is nature’s way of recycling. In this process, organic waste, such as food waste and garden clippings, is biodegraded and turned into valuable fertilizer. Amount of waste decreases and we get a natural fertilizer. Anaerobic digestion Food waste Biofuel from waste cooking oil In many places it is a legal requirement that oils and fats from frying processes are collected. Oils can be put to great use by being recycled into biofuels for vehicles. Associated Reclaimers & Recyclers of Oil Waste methanogens biogas
- 14. Conclusion A large quantity of food is wasted and are being thrown away around the world,while a child dies every 5 seconds as a result of hunger. “Buy less, use all, waste nothing.”

Editor's Notes
- 1.Plan meals, use grocery lists, and avoid impulse buys. This way, you’re less likely to buy things you don’t need and that you’re unlikely to actually consume. Buy items only when you have a plan for using them, and wait until perishables are all used up before buying more. Check out these apps for extra-easy meal planning. 2.For example, if a recipe calls for two carrots, don’t buy a whole bag. Instead, buy loose produce so you can purchase the exact number you’ll use 3.If you live alone, you won’t need the same numberof apples as a family of four (unless you really like apples). 4. Many fruits and vegetables are thrown away because their size, shape, or colors don’t quite match what we think these items “should” look like. But for the most part these items are perfectly good to eat,
- 1.It stands for First In, First Out. When unpacking groceries, move older products to the front of the fridge/freezer/pantry and put new products in the back. This way, you’re more likely to use up the older stuff before it expires. 2.write down everything you throw out 3.Instead of cooking a new meal, look around in the cupboards and fridge for leftovers and other food that might otherwise get overlooked. 4.For example, leave the skin on cucumbers and potatoes, sauté broccoli stems along with the florets (they taste good too; we promise!), and so on.additional nutrients. Storage----having a ri8 info about how to store product can extend its life hence reduce waste.Learn how and where to store specific products in the fridge, and they’re likely to keep longer.we can print storage tips on the bags of fruits and veg. expiry---- Understand expiration dates. Turns out those expiration dates don’t always have to do with food safety; rather, they’re usually manufacturers’ suggestions for peak quality. If stored properly, most foods (even meat) stay fresh several days past the “use-by” date.
- 1.always start with small servings remember u can always have more if u want . Greene King pubs in the UK have a range of different portion sizes.
- Sealed Air a global leader in packaging solutions now are piloting a scheme to collect food waste from hotels and convert it to dried food pellets for distribution to poor farmers as animal feed. The pilot took place in Mauritius in November 2014 and it is hoped to roll this out to the Middle East, Africa and Asia markets.
- The process of AD provides a source of renewable energy, since the food waste is broken down to produce biogas (a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide), which is suitable for energy production. The biogas can be used to generate electricity and heat The volumes produced by a hotel can be significant, for example The Savoy London’s kitchen oil recycling scheme to biofuel averages around 1,800 litres per quarter.
