Summary:According to the World Food Programme (WFP, 2009), almost 1 billion people struggle to find their next meal, while a joint study of FAO, IFAD and WFP (2015) pointed out that 795 million people are undernourished, mostly in Asia and Africa. [...]food losses directly reduce the amount of food used to feed the world's population. According to secondary data sources they referred that food waste has recently ranged from 5.4 to 25% in UK, from 12.7% to 25% in USA, 15% in Australia, 26-27% in South Korea and 8-11%in the Netherlands.
