Food Insecurity in USA

Food Insecurity in USA

The U.S Population is about 330 Million and food waste is a huge problem here too.

37 million people out of the 330 Million are suffering from malnutrition including 11 million children. According to the USDA about 30% of food produced is wasted at retail and consumer level.

Strategies:

· A way to tackle this problem is to talk to providers and consumers to change the trend of buying and wasting extensive amounts of food.

· Awareness campaigns should be held in order to educate people about the consequences of food waste.

· Penalty should be imposed to the restaurants that waste excessive amounts of food every day.

· People should change their eating habits.

· Backyard composting should be done.
