Answer of Q5. “What are the benefits of reducing food waste?”

How are you doing? I hope you are spending a nice summer!

Before I answer to the question, I have an announcement. This would be the last post, unfortunately.

This time I will answer the Q5. “What are the benefits of reducing food waste?” To answer this question, I selected these two sites; the one was http://www.globalopportunitynetwork.org/report-2016/reduce-food-waste/ , and the other was https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/07/reducing-food-waste-would-mitigate-climate-change-study-shows . From the first site, I found that reducing the amount of food waste can benefit economically; for example, food producers can benefit by reducing food waste in regard to their sales. In addition, the site says that “Saving one-fourth of the food currently wasted is enough to feed all the hungry people in the world.” I felt this site is trustworthy because this site publishes many reports about the facts of food waste.

From the second site, I learned that reducing food waste has a environmental benefit; According to this site, reducing food waste not only prevent a lot of greenhouse gases from emitting, but also make the speed of climate change slow. Indeed, the climate change has been progressing faster in these days, so we should take a quick action to prevent the environment from getting worse. I think that this site is trustworthy because the information is described in detail by citing some people who are involved with field of food waste.

In conclusion, reducing food waste has both economical and environmental benefits. Reducing food waste can make your life better.

P.S. I think that this would be the last post. I would be glad if you could learn what the food waste is and what you can do to deal with it. Thank you for checking my blogs!
