WHY WASTE FOOD?

Book ID/图书代码： 14932920C00006

English Summary/英文概要： About one-third of all food grown for human consumption is lost or discarded every year, despite financial, environmental, and ethical reasons not to waste food. We grow enough food to adequately feed everyone on the planet, yet hundreds of millions of people suffer from hunger, malnutrition, or food insecurity. Together, this food waste accounts for about eight percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions. So, if wasting food is such a patently bad idea, why do we discard so much? In Why Waste Food?, Andrew F. Smith investigates one of today’s most pressing topics, examining the causes of avoidable food waste across the supply chain and highlighting the ways in which everyone can do something to tackle this global concern.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 儘管我們都知道，不論是為了經濟、環境還是道德，都不應該浪費食物，然而根據統計，每年為人類的消費所生產的食物有高達三分之一會被丟棄。

我們所種植的糧食足夠養活地球上的每一個人，但仍有數億人遭受飢餓、營養不良或不安全的糧食危機。所有遭浪費的食物垃圾共佔全球溫室氣體總排放量的百分之八。

那麼，如果浪費食物絕對不是一個好主意，為什麼我們要丟棄那麼多呢？

在本書中，食物專家安德魯·史密斯（Andrew F. Smith）研究了這個當今最緊迫的全球性議題，研究了整個供應鏈中可避免的食物浪費成因，並著重指出了每個人可以採取什麼措施來解決這一全球性關注的問題。 (Zoe)
