 INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction to Food Waste

• De nition of Food Waste: Food waste occurs throughout the food supply
chain, from production to consumption. It refers to discarded food.

• Global and Local Impact: Discusses the global scale of food waste,
including its environmental impact, such as carbon emissions and
resource waste.

2. Types of Food Waste

• Pre-Consumer Waste: Waste during farming, processing, and packaging.

• Post-Consumer Waste: Waste generated by consumers at homes,

restaurants, and supermarkets, including unsold products in grocery
stores and restaurants.

3. Food Waste Management Strategies

• Prevention: Reduce food waste at the source by better planning, proper

storage, and technology.

• Reduction: Techniques like using nearing-expiration food and

redistributing surplus food to charities.
4.Technology in Food Waste Management

• Food Waste Tracking Systems: Software to monitor and manage waste.

• AI & Data Analytics: Predicts food demand to optimize inventory.

• Mobile Apps & Platforms: Enables consumers and businesses to buy,

donate, or share surplus food.

5. Key Players in the Food Waste Management Ecosystem

• Governments: Implement policies and regulations to encourage waste

reduction.

• Businesses: Adopt sustainable practices to minimize waste.

• Consumers: Reduce waste by shopping smart, using leftovers, and

composting.

6. Case Studies

• Successful Initiatives: Highlight programs such as the “Too Good To Go”

app.

• Corporate Examples: Companies like Starbucks and Tesco reducing food

waste in their supply chains.
7.Implementation Plan for a Food Waste Management System

• Goals and Objectives: De ne achievable targets (e.g., reducing waste by

30%).

• System Design: Outline processes from collection to redistribution or

disposal.

• Stakeholders Involved: Include local governments, businesses, NGOs, and

consumers.

8. Sustainability and Future Considerations

• Circular Economy Approach: Contribution of food waste management to

a circular economy.

• Innovative Technologies: Trends such as food waste-to-protein systems

and advanced composting.

• Behavioral Change: Education’s role in changing public attitudes.

9. Conclusion

• Highlights the paramount importance of food waste management in

fostering environmental sustainability, economic growth, and societal
well-being. Calls upon individuals, corporations, and governments to
take proactive steps in addressing this issue.
 FUNCTIONS USED

1.mysql.connector.connect(): Establishes a connection to

MySQL.

2.self.db.cursor(): Creates a cursor to interact with the

database.

3.self.cursor.execute(): Executes SQL queries.

4.self.db.commit(): Commits changes to the database.

5.self.cursor.fetchall(): Fetches all rows from the query

result.

6.self.cursor.fetchone(): Fetches a single row from the

query result.

7.self.cursor.close(): Closes the cursor.

8.self.db.close(): Closes the database connection.

 TABLES IN DATABASE

1. View all food items and their associated waste: This query
will display all records from the food_waste table:
2. View the total food waste: This query will calculate the total
waste from all food items:

3. View food waste data with food item count: If you want to see
the total waste per food item, you can group the results by the
food item:
