Weird sentence

Following sentence [en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Food_waste&oldid=472608406 here] was unclear: "There are two ways we can reduce food waste, either prevent consumers from throwing away huge amounts of food as waste, or stop them in some way from producing so much."

Does the writer mean:

stop them from producing so much food ? Ie in relation to people that grow their own food ? However even in this case, if the waste (human feces) is reintegrated to the agricultural plot, it can hardly be called "wasted".
stop them from buying so much food ? (which would be redundant since the first sugestion allready states this)
stop them from preventing the food waste to be recycled ? In this case, the writer would mean "prevent consumers from throwing away huge amounts of food as waste in garbage bags, or stop them from buying so much food". The distinction here is that we mention garbage bags as opposed to ie biodegradable_waste containers

I'm guessing it's the last one, so I'm changing it.

Notification obligation for near-expired foodstuffs

In 2015 in Belgium, the minister for poverty reduction Liesbeth Homans proposed a notification obligation for near-expired foodstuffs for supermarkets. 2 supermarkets (Carrefour and Delhaize) have welcomed the minister's appeal to redistribute near-expired foods to the poor, and proposed to then also integrate a digital register/inventory to further increase efficiency, and the use of cool trucks to transport the near-expired foods from the supermarkets to other distribution centers (of for example volunteer organisations). ^[1]^[2]The minister was enthusiastic about this, and mentioned that 1 cool truck per region could be sponsored/payed for by the state.

The minister also proposed to offer 1-euro meals in all Flemish cities.^[3]

Mention in article. KVDP (talk) 13:54, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

in this article food waste is explained not only in America but globally. It breaks down the process in which food waste occurs. from post harvest, to transportation, and finally into our kitchens.

Yoshihito Shirai's system

Not sure whether it's notable, but Yoshihito Shirai's fungi allow to recycle wasted food into bioplastic (polylactic acid). See http://www.intechopen.com/books/advances-in-applied-biotechnology/total-recycle-system-of-food-waste-for-poly-l-lactic-acid-output It's being used by the Ebara Corporation.

Food waste or food loss or both?

This article was originally only about Food Waste. At some stage someone has gone through it adding food loss in a few places, so it now appears to be about "food waste and food loss" although most of the content is still about food waste. Despite the quote from the EU, the commonly understood definitions are that food waste occurs as a result of edible products being thrown away either by retail stores or by the consumer. Food loss relates more to losses that occur as a result of poor post-harvest practices although, obviously, there is no absolutely clear dividing line between the two. A quick Google of the meaning of "waste" comes up with "use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose". Using this definition I do not see how loss can be a component of waste. On the other hand, waste can be a component of loss. Conclusion: either remove references to loss from the article or change its name to Food Loss.

Abby's Peer Review on Lily's Article

Wow, this article is incredibly detailed and nuanced. Great job on the definitions section. I have lots of context as to what food waste is and why it's a problem. Fantastic!

I would consider rephrasing the "Production" section under "Causes." There are definitely some phrases that are a bit clunky. I would suggest reading it out loud and pausing where it seems awkward to read and revising. Same goes for "Food processing" section.

The second paragraph of the "Retail" section could use a few more citations, if you used information from an outside source. (Your words or someone else's?)

I would rephrase the title of the "Extent" section. Maybe "Broader Implications," or something along those lines?

Under "Reduction and disposal," I would revise "food waste at all social levels has varied hugely." Use a different adverb.

Perhaps add more to the "Composting" section? There's tons of information out there about it.

Great work so far. Keep it up! — Preceding unsigned comment added by YesToYummy (talk • contribs) 15:43, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The entirety of Denmark's food waste reduction is thanks to one woman

It is wrong to attribute the 25% reduction of food waste in Denmark to Selina Juul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.150.138.75 (talk) 20:32, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Food Waste Consumption

These two sources focus on the consumption of food waste. I think the part on consumption could use a few more citations to expand the section. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652618303366 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/18/americans-waste-food-fruit-vegetables-study Natalieterrone (talk) 21:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
