In detail, the government should establish curriculums in schools to make informed children about waste and its consequences. In addition, supermarkets and restaurants can give items, which expiration date is about to expire, to charities and poor individuals rather than throwing them away. These methods can influence to decline of food waste.
In conclusion, while a considerable amount of food are being wasted, several ways can tackle this trouble like improving food distribution and make people informed.
