Food Wastage Impact: An Analysis of Ecosystem and Environment

This presentation analyzes the impact of food wastage on the ecosystem and environment, highlighting the significant environmental consequences and economic losses, particularly within Australia where the government faces an annual loss of 20 billion AUD and wastes 3.1 million tonnes of food each year. It emphasizes how food wastage adversely affects pollution management and contributes to overall environmental degradation. The presentation references various academic sources to support its findings and underscores the importance of addressing food wastage to mitigate its negative impacts on the environment and promote sustainability.
