World chefs gather to tackle issue of food waste - Al Jazeera
Chefs assemble in Kuala Lumpur to launch initiatives to cut food waste and reduce greenhouse gases by food going to landfill.
If you have ever thrown out food because it's started to spoil, or left food on your plate uneaten because you were too full or didn't like the taste of it, then you - like many others, myself included - have been guilty of food waste.
Roughly one-third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted before it ends up on the table.
Food loss is food that's spoilt before it reaches the retail stage. Food waste is food that's fit for consumption but not consumed and discarded.
In a world where one out of nine people goes hungry, reducing the amount of food waste can be said to be a moral imperative.
