Food waste is a significant problem today, as the population is growing alarmingly. Recent data indicates that one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted. As a result, considerable resources are wasted, and greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental issues are exacerbated. In addition to developed nations, emerging nations also struggle with the issue of food waste. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), food waste is responsible for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (Simranjeet, 2023; April, 2021). This is the same as the emissions the entire global transportation industry produces.
