Name three resources that are wasted when food is lost or wasted.

Land, water, and energy (or greenhouse gas emissions)

What is the relationship between food waste and food insecurity?

Reducing food waste could provide enough food to feed those experiencing food insecurity.

Poor harvesting techniques, insufficient storage and cooling facilities, and a lack of infrastructure for food transport and marketing.

I can analyze the hidden costs associated with food production and consumption.

1
Worldwide, approximately 30 percent of food is lost or wasted, which accounts for 8 to 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
2
In wealthier countries, over 40 percent of food loss occurs at the retail and consumer stage, while in lower income countries, losses happen earlier in the supply chain due to poor harvesting techniques and insufficient storage.

To reduce food waste, we can improve soil quality, use effective harvesting technologies, develop low-cost off-grid solutions for food preservation, and embrace 'ugly' foods.
