Also, a third of global greenhouse gas emissions are from food production. One kilogram of beef has the same amount of emissions as driving your car about 160 miles. Transportation of food, pesticide use, purchasing food out of season also contributes to the carbon footprint. Processed food has higher emissions than fresh food as it includes transportation, production in factories, and additional packaging.

Increased profits with little investment. Oh, also best friends with the environment.
People have also come with initiatives to minimize food wastage. These philanthropists pick up extra food from restaurants, events, and parties to feed the poor and the needy. Ahmadabad and Hyderabad have food banks where you yourself can drop those delicious items you cooked with love.
