This document summarizes information about food waste, including its definition, impacts, management strategies, and global statistics. It notes that food waste has negative environmental impacts through greenhouse gas emissions and resource use, social impacts like reduced food security and health issues, and economic costs of over $1 trillion annually. Sustainable food waste management includes reducing waste, reuse, recycling, and using food scraps for composting or biofuel. The UN aims to halve global per capita food waste by 2030 to support sustainable development.
