I have been focusing on social issues and sharing my views through this blog with the hope that at least  few people  agree with me and do their best to change the situation. I my self ,am trying my level best ,acting within my limits.Today,I would like to discuss the biggest problem,that is wastage of food.
      Today the world's population is growing by leaps and bounds.But the rate of food production is not competitive enough to meet the increasing demand for food.Hence preserving food and avoiding wastage is the need of the day.There are several  ways in which food is being wasted everywhere in the world.In the houses,restaurants,parties and wedding celebrations.starting from the house ,we often  find that some food items are spoiled in the fridge.cooked food is also wasted in some houses,due to lack of proper awareness on food management.The hotels and restaurants are wasting tons of food everyday either in the kitchens or in the form of leftovers in the plates of customers. In the name of parties,people order more than what they can eat and waste food.Especially  in the  weddings ,innumerable varieties of food are served.It is only a feast to the eyes but not a feast in the real sense.Invitees of the wedding also waste much food than what they eat.Especially in the buffet system wastage is alarming..When people are starving ,it is unpardonable mistake on our part to waste a single grain also.
       If we really think over it .we can start from our home to avoid wastage of food and teach our children too.We can limit the number of dishes we serve in the parties and weddings.Every minute we should be conscious about food management.
       There  is another situation where food is wasted is ,when there is plenty of yield from a crop and farmer has no facilities and knowledge on food preservation.Such cases should be identified and taken care of  by voluntary associations.Let us do our level best to avoid food wastage. It is equally important to see that it reaches the needy.
