Food wastage refers to the loss of food that happens due to food is not eaten and it is

stages of the food production, in the processing stage, retailing stage and other stages. Globally
about one third of the food produced throughout the world gets wasted. It occurs in the supply
chain process. The food wastage also differs country wise such as in the highly developed
nations three food wastage occurs at the consumption stage because food is wasted by people
while consumption. On the other hand in case of underdeveloped nations the loss happens due to
problems with the production process. Some of the major causes of food wastage is food
production such as wastage of the crops due to pests, diseases and others, it occurs due to
distribution and processing such as in case of overproduction and many other reasons. However
