Food waste is a problem due to its scale and environmental impacts. According to the USDA, about 30-40% of food is wasted (USDA 2020). The largest source of food waste in the United States is fruits and vegetables. Food waste has been a significant source of household waste since pre-industrial times, but interest in food waste reduction increased in the 2010s as food waste and its impact on climate change continued to grow as a problem. This week’s blog looks a little different since it comes in infographic form! I created an infographic on this topic for my public policy course. Food waste is one area where individuals have some control over their environmental impact, so I'm excited for you to learn about the issue and increase your self-efficacy to deal with it appropriately. As we continue to think about different mediums for environmental communication (see last week’s blog on art and music), this infographic exemplifies a visual way to communicate about environmental issues.
