In the midst of rising food prices and scarcity, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, the Stockholm International Water Institute and the International Water Management Institute have expressed their grave concern about the wastage of food. For instance, these organizations, in a report titled “Saving water : from field to fork – curbing losses and wastage in the food chain”, say that in the US alone, about 30% of produced food, worth about 48.3 billion USD is wasted every year. According to them, water falls in the category of food and already 1.2 billion people live in areas where they do not have sufficient water to meet their needs. The above organizations have launched an initiative on May 14, 2008, at the 16th session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development to achieve at least 50% reduction in food waste.
