Food Waste Reduction: Strategies, Challenges and Sustainable Solutions for a Circular Food System

Author(s) Prof. Dr. Sandeep Kumar Singh
Country India
Abstract Food waste has emerged as one of the most pressing global sustainability challenges of the twenty-first century. Despite advances in agricultural production and food supply chains, nearly one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted each year. This wastage results not only in economic losses but also in severe environmental and social consequences. Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, excessive water consumption, land degradation, and biodiversity loss. At the same time, millions of people across the world suffer from food insecurity and malnutrition. This paper examines the causes and consequences of food waste across different stages of the food supply chain and proposes comprehensive strategies for its reduction. The study discusses household behavior, hospitality industry practices, supply chain inefficiencies, technological interventions, government policies, and circular economy approaches. The paper concludes that reducing food waste requires a collaborative effort involving producers, distributors, policymakers, businesses, and consumers. A systemic transformation toward sustainable production and consumption patterns is essential for long-term food security and environmental sustainability.
Keywords Food waste, sustainability, circular economy, food security, waste management, hospitality industry
