The supply chain must reduce its food waste in order to promote economic stability and environmental preservation. The following method provides a way to achieve this goal:
Farm Level:
Processing and Distribution:
Retail Level:
Consumer Level
Dating food waste allows you to transform it into beneficial soil through composting practices.
Economic and Environmental Benefits:
-Stoppage of waste materials at farm levels results in reductions for consumer food costs.
-Profit levels of farms improve when losses decrease therefore generating higher farm revenues.
-The conservation of resources becomes possible when waste reduction reduces our need for water and land and energy used to produce food.
-Greenhouse gas emissions decrease when food waste is not buried in landfills since decomposition creates methane gas which is a potent environmental pollutant.
-Climate change receives less impact because of reduced waste.
The decrease in waste supplies additional safe food products which supports feeding an expanding worldwide human populace.
