Answer 1

Food waste is a worldwide epidemic, and it's well past time the average person started fighting back.

More than one-third of all food produced globally is wasted or spoiled. Americans throw away up to 40% of the food they buy, and organic matter in landfills provides 20% of all methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes considerably to climate change.

And yet in 2013, 49.1 million Americans lived without sufficient access to safe and nutritious food.

"There are three main factors: abundance, beauty and cost," says Jonathan Bloom, author, activist and creator of Wasted Food.

The overall food supply is far too abundant — about twice the necessary amount per person, he says — and we want that food to look perfect, with the "right" shapes sizes and colors.

"Food prices have certainly been rising for the last five years, but when you look at our household spending that goes toward food, no other nation spends less on its food supply. We simply don't value things we don't spend much on," Bloom says. We're very careful about getting deals and discounts at grocery stores and at big-box retailers like Costco, but those values don't mean anything when half of that food goes in the trash.

" Becoming more connected to your food will help you avoid waste," Bloom says. Whether you grow your own food you're simply more conscious while you shop and cook, you're less likely to waste.

We talked to Bloom about the various ways the average person can "connect" more with their food and food supply. Check out the extremely easy and practical tips below
