10 Food Scraps That You Should Never Throw Away

April 18, 2016 ,

Food waste is a serious problem all around the world. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about a third of the food produced worldwide winds up in the trash.

In the industrialised world, the majority of the waste comes from consumers who buy too much food and throw it out when they don’t eat it. In the developing world, it’s principally the result of inefficiency and the lack of proper storage.
