    Food waste can be defined as any potential food discarded or destroyed, such as plate scraps, expired foods, and production errors. The US produces the most food waste in the world, while Southeast Asian countries produce the least. Homes produce the most food waste at 27 million tons annually, followed by restaurants at 25 million tons. Filipino households waste an average of 1.676 kg of rice per year. Plates are wasted at around 5 grams for vegetables, 6 grams for fish, and 1 gram for meat. Causes of food waste include poor planning, over-preparation, consumer behavior, and industrial processing errors. The effects are biodiversity loss, increased greenhouse gases, wasted land and resources, and economic impacts.
