## Food Waste: From Farm to Fork
- Overview of the global food waste problem.
- Goal: Reducing waste to feed the future.

## Facts & Causes
- Waste occurs at all stages: farms, stores, and homes.
- Wealthy nations waste most at the consumer/retail level; developing nations lose food earlier due to poor storage.
- Key drivers: Cosmetic standards, label confusion, oversized portions, and industrial agriculture disconnection.

## Power & Stakeholders
- Large corporations control food standards and supply chains.
- Governments influence policy through laws, labeling, and donation incentives.
- Farmers and low-income communities often have the least power but face the highest consequences.

## Stakeholder Perspectives
- Farmers: Burdened by strict retailer cosmetic standards that reject 'imperfect' crops.
- Retailers & Restaurants: Prioritize aesthetics and large portions, leading to preventable waste.
- Communities: Food-insecure groups require reliable access to nutritious results.

## Rights & Responsibilities
- The UN recognizes the right to food; billions of pounds are wasted while hundreds of millions go hungry.
- Governments and businesses must prioritize distribution and operational efficiency.
- Individuals are responsible for meal planning and reducing household surplus.

## Solutions & Actions
- Individual: Planning, proper storage, and leftovers.
- Business: Donating unsold food and selling imperfect produce.
- Government: Strengthening labeling laws and funding recovery infrastructure.
