flag Americans waste one-third of food, driving economic loss and emissions despite awareness efforts.

flag Despite growing concern over rising grocery costs and environmental issues, Americans continue to waste about one-third of their food, according to recent data. flag This waste occurs across all stages of the supply chain, from farms to households, contributing to economic loss and significant greenhouse gas emissions. flag While public awareness campaigns, better labeling, and food donation programs have made some progress, challenges like confusion over date labels, overbuying, and strict produce standards persist. flag Systemic changes in consumer behavior, business practices, and policy are needed to reduce waste and align food consumption with sustainability goals.
