More about the book
The book explores the paradox of global food waste, highlighting that affluent nations discard up to half of their food while nearly one billion people remain hungry. It examines the environmental impact of food production, including deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions from uneaten food. In contrast, farmers in developing countries struggle with inadequate resources for processing and transporting their crops, leading to significant losses. The narrative emphasizes the urgent need for solutions to address these disparities and improve food distribution worldwide.
