Food waste, that scourge that sends\u00a0more than a third<\/a>\u00a0of our food supply to rot and is a major contributor to\u00a0climate change<\/a>, seems like it should be easy to address.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Waste less food, advocates cry, and you can save money! You can save time! You can save farmland and fuel, and, since agriculture drives habitat loss, you can even help save the tiger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And yet, here we are in the thick of Earth Month, on a day designated as \u201cStop Food Waste Day<\/a>,\u201d and you probably don\u2019t need to look further than your own kitchen or cafeteria to see edible food dumped. In the U.S. more than\u00a080 percent of food waste<\/a>\u00a0has been traced to homes and consumer-facing businesses.<\/p>\n
