Food Waste: A Growing Problem 舌尖上的浪费
据统计,全球每年浪费的食物达到13万亿吨,占全球每年生产的食物总量的三分之一。我国每年在餐桌上浪费的食物价值约合2000亿元,相当于两亿多人一年的口粮,每年在餐桌外浪费的食物价值也高达750亿元。这些数字令人触目惊心,因此造成的资源浪费与环境破坏也令人痛惜。那造成食物浪费的原因是什么?食物浪费的严重后果有哪些?有无可行的解决方案?我们一起来了解。

Yet, 40 percent of the food produced ends up in landfills.
It is predicted that by 2025, the world population will have increased from roughly 7 billion to around 8 billion. And while the population increase will be seen mostly in developing countries, it still poses an important question for all nations: “How will we feed all those people?”
Today, about one-sixth of the American population live in food-insecure households, meaning that families have to decide between buying food and other basic necessities. And yet, despite this deficit, the nation is still faced with the problem of overproduction of food, a large majority of which will be thrown out. There are families out there who are scrambling for food and yet there are families throwing whole bags of lettuce and fresh vegetables and fruits out.
However, it’s not just food that is being wasted when it is thrown out. The oil lost in the production of food that ends up in a land
