Perspective from farmers
I will focus on the food-waste issues from farmers' perspective.
We, farmers regard food waste as the serious problem, but we benefit from food waste in actual. For example, I am working at a certain farm in Chicago, we gather food waste from restaurants and turn them into fertilizer. Then we grow vegetables at the soil containing the fertilizer and sell them to some restaurants. Now America is one of the countries that wastes food a lot, so it will be a good solution to deal with food waste.
But what is the advantage of the soil contains fertilizer made of food waste? One of the benefits is that it helps plants to grow stronger and more healthy. The microorganisms in the fertilized soil mainly contribute to the improvement of the soil. For example, they improve nutrients and moistures in the soil. This soil made of food waste is called " compost " in general, and this way of recyclying food waste has been conducted not only in farms but also in houses.
As you can see, we try to solve the issues in an effective way. I think that the more farms adopt this method, the less food will be wasted. In addition, it will lead to a solution of environmental problem, too.
