food wastage can be uncooked or cooked. Food wastage determines the resource
wastage which is contributed to the food processing, food production, and food
distribution. Food disposal management provides a significant impact on the creation of
the country's carbon footprint. It is said that if 2.2 million tones of food are wasted, then
it will be equivalent to the production of 9.8 million tonnes of CO21. This massive amount
of CO2 creation provides a negative impact on the environment and make the situation
very unhealthy to live. Reuse of wasted food is the best way of reducing food wasting. If
food wastage is prevented, then the situation can be developed sustainably. This study
focuses on the identification of the impact of climate on food wastage and also
identification of mitigation steps of food wasting. In this study, it will also be discussed
how the wasted foods are reused effectively and services to those people who are
unable to access the adequate amount of healthy, nutritious and sound quality of food.

domestic household foods are wasted every day2. As a result, a particular group of
people cannot access the adequate amount of high quality as well as nutritious food.
Research objectives
Based on the objectives of the research the overall research study is executed by
the researcher. The objectives of this research study are mentioned below.
