Elite Private School | 26 Although there were causes for food waste, solutions help avoid food waste crisis, such as the need to avoid buying too much, so people can plan their list and focus on the essential needs rather than buying things that might expire before they are used. In addition, consumers should think twice before throwing food away, especially nowadays. Many charitable organizations chose the initiative to save food

and distribute it to poor people. People should always make a shopping list, store food correctly, and use the food on time before the expiry date. Moreover, we can freeze extra portions, and we can help preserve them for later use and prevent them from spoiling. Many fresh fruits and vegetables can be kept well when frozen, extending their shelf life and reducing waste.

There have been positive reactions in recent years, and many countries are trying to find solutions to this issue. Governments can enforce change which would make the war against food waste an easy game. Building awareness in schools to the young students will help avoid the spreading of this crisis and teach them how to safeguard their food.
