Food waste from individuals, households, businesses, farms, and manufacturers contributes to environmental harm. As food decomposes in landfills without oxygen, it leads to higher global temperatures and ozone layer destruction. It also increases groundwater pollution and harms humans through air pollution linked to respiratory diseases and cancer. We can address this problem through better food labeling, tax benefits for food donations, education campaigns, and local food waste collection programs.
