The "ugly produce" movement aims to

reduce food waste by promoting the sale of imperfect fruits and vegetables

Religious and ethical beliefs do not influence

food waste behavior in different cultures

In some cultures, serving large portions of food

is seen as a sign of hospitality, which can contribute to food waste.

Strict food labeling regulations in some

European countries don’t help reduce food loss at the household level.

France doesn’t have laws requiring supermarkets

to donate unsold food instead of discarding it

Food loss mainly occurs during the stages of

production, storage, and transportation

Food waste occurs when consumers throw away food

that is still in good condition
