The word \u201cwaste\u201d seems fitting, because wasted food no longer fulfils its true purpose at this point. And as if that isn\u2019t enough, the ecological issue comes on top of this financial waste. Until the point-of-sale, produced food has often had a long refining process and life-cycle, respectively. Especially in the case of meat and other animal products. Approximately 10kg of feed and additional related resources have to be expended for 1 kg of meat. Many resources are therefore needed in advance to produce food.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the topic: how much we really need food produced on today\u2019s scale is an entirely different matter. Definitely, all food (!) processed by food industry and agribusiness leaves an ecological \u201cfootprint\u201d in terms of land use, water consumption, energy consumption by processing machines and cooling, climate relevant emissions from soils and exhausts from transportation. The list could go on.<\/p>\n<p>[\/wt_section_headings][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; separator=&#8221;Background Extended Settings&#8221; style=&#8221;&#8221; shadow=&#8221;&#8221; typography=&#8221;dark&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;&#8221; bck_image=&#8221;&#8221; bg_size=&#8221;full&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;top&#8221; bg_size_standard=&#8221;cover&#8221; bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0px 0px 0px 0px&#8221; separator_2=&#8221;Paddings and Margins&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_right=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; separator_3=&#8221;Animations&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; anim_type=&#8221;wt_animate_if_visible&#8221; el_file=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;&#8221; parallax=&#8221;&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;&#8221; separator=&#8221;Background Extended Settings&#8221; min_height=&#8221;0&#8243; center_row=&#8221;&#8221; full_mobile_row=&#8221;&#8221; default_bg=&#8221;&#8221; default_skin_bg=&#8221;&#8221; default_border=&#8221;&#8221; shadow=&#8221;&#8221; typography=&#8221;dark&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;&#8221; bck_image=&#8221;&#8221; bg_size=&#8221;full&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;top&#8221; bg_size_standard=&#8221;cover&#8221; bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; youtube_video_id=&#8221;&#8221; yt_video_controls=&#8221;&#8221; yt_video_bg_img=&#8221;&#8221; bg_pattern_overlay=&#8221;&#8221; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0px 0px 0px 0px&#8221; separator_2=&#8221;Paddings and Margins&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_right=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; separator_3=&#8221;Animations&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; anim_type=&#8221;wt_animate_if_visible&#8221; el_file=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; separator=&#8221;Background Extended Settings&#8221; style=&#8221;&#8221; shadow=&#8221;&#8221; typography=&#8221;dark&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;&#8221; bck_image=&#8221;&#8221; bg_size=&#8221;full&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;top&#8221; bg_size_standard=&#8221;cover&#8221; bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0px 0px 0px 0px&#8221; separator_2=&#8221;Paddings and Margins&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_left=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_right=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; separator_3=&#8221;Animations&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; anim_type=&#8221;wt_animate_if_visible&#8221; el_file=&#8221;&#8221;][wt_section_headings anim_type=&#8221;wt_animate_if_visible&#8221;]The majority of discarded food in food retal industry is still edible.
