WHY WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT FOOD WASTE Food waste occurs when any food that could have been eaten by people is wasted or thrown away. Food is wasted every day along the whole food supply chain – from when it is grown, during transportation, in the packaging and manufacturing process, at the supermarkets and above all, in our homes.1 [1. ](1. ozharvest.org/fight-food-waste/the-problem/#sc_s1)[ozharvest.org/fight-food-waste/the-problem/\#sc_s1](1. ozharvest.org/fight-food-waste/the-problem/#sc_s1) [2. ](2. fao.org/3/i3347e/i3347e.pdf)[fao.org/3/i3347e/i3347e.pdf](2. fao.org/3/i3347e/i3347e.pdf) [3. ](3. fao.org/platform-food-loss-waste/en/)[fao.org/platform-food-loss-waste/en/](3. fao.org/platform-food-loss-waste/en/) [4. ](4. dcceew.go
