— Pexels/FileRawalpindi : A significant amount of food that spoils or is left over often ends up in the trash, contributing to substantial household food waste. “Throwing away food places an additional burden on our waste management system, exacerbating issues of food insecurity. Poor planning leads to more frequent shopping trips, increasing the risk of food waste. Kaneez Zainab adds, “Food waste often occurs due to overcooking or burning, preparing large quantities, and serving excessive portions on plates. When our lives are filled with relatives and friends who enjoy eating, it can lead to significant food waste.”
