The obvious reason would be when it is no longer goodfor consumption. But a large proportion of the food we discard it is still edible. Much of the food that is wasted has simply passed its ‘use by’ date, and will not then be sold, whether it is goodfor consumption or not.

  6. Why is this such a problem? • The environmental cost of food production is huge. • Farming needs lots of land and water. Food waste puts pressure on land andresources. Greenhouse gas emissions happen from the growing, transport, processing and storage of food, if food is thrown away, all this environmental impact goes to waste. • And it is not just the production of food that is never eaten that impacts the environment, but also its disposal. When dumped into landfill sites, still the final destination of the majority of food waste, it also rots and gives off methane, a gas which is 23 times as damaging to the climate as the amount of CO2. • Video hr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0upqqc9E_o
