Food wastage

Although millions of people go hungry worldwide, wastage of food remains a critical problem. Efforts are being made to provide food to people and reduce the risk of hunger, addressing food wastage does not seem to be a top priority. In 2022, 783 million people were affected by hunger while over one billion meals were wasted daily across the world.

Though Pakistan is an agricultural country, millions of people are suffering from food insecurity. To discourage food wastage, there has to be a broad national strategy to improve food storage infrastructure and raise awareness on food waste.
