These studies suggest that food waste can be managed through avoidance, donation, biofuel production, composting, incineration, and landfilling, while also being utilized for renewable energy, high-value products, and as raw materials for various industries.
Food waste is a significant global issue, encompassing materials intended for human consumption that are subsequently discarded, lost, degraded, or contaminated. Addressing food waste involves all sectors of the food supply chain, from production to consumption, and requires sustainable management solutions to mitigate environmental and health impacts.

Food waste management requires a multifaceted approach, prioritizing avoidance and donation, followed by industrial conversion to biofuels and high-value products. Energy conversion technologies and nutrient recovery through composting are viable options, though challenges remain due to the variable nature of food waste. Technological advancements and industrial interventions can further reduce waste at the consumer level. Overall, diverting food waste to animal feed and other sustainable practices can significantly mitigate environmental and health impacts.
