What is perhaps more shocking is that every one of these mouths could be fed using less than a quarter of the food that is wasted in the United States and in Europe alone!How so much food is wasted each year? Some foods may be lost in production or poor transportation and storage (储藏). Damaged or imperfect-looking fruits and vegetables may be thrown out since most supermarkets wont buy them.Of the items that do make it to the market, many will go bad while sitting on the shelf. Once bought and placed in the fridge at home, a certain amount of food will go bad because of improper (不恰当的) meal planning. Then, there is food that might get prepared but ends up being thrown away when we are full.To help deal with the issue of food waste, a number of improvements need to be made. In developing countries, the problem lies mainly in production. By improving collecting, processing, storage, and transportation methods, people can save millions of tons of food each year.In the developed world, the problem comes down to raising awareness (意识). In the United States, for example, some restaurants have begun offering smaller size dishes and are encouraging diners to take home their leftovers.In a world with limited land, water, and energy, we need to pay more attention to the problem of food waste. With our ever-increasing population, its time to stop wasting food and start taking action!35 .
