in a way higher, jo, are the penalties for throw it. you know that it encourages you because what we've seen is one stores where the city, your state pass is a mandate. you have to separate your food waste for grocery stores and they'll offer a, a lower price. they realize when they started separating it, how much eligible food they're throwing away. so sometimes when you either push them to force them to recycle it and separate it, it very quickly becomes evident how much is being, you know, how much money they're wasting. now, billions of dollars are lost in food waste. how can this figure be reduced or were cooked so that it can go back into the economy or the producers? i would say it really has to do with this awareness of, of the amount of food that gets wasted. taking the example of the farm with,

you know, they, they only pick their highest quality and then leave the rest on the farm. is, is creating a market for that secondary, the 2nd best food and making it so that there's the farmers getting value for that to make it worth the effort of taking it. and so i think that's a big piece of it. and i, i just, i think i, the working really working hard to spend money on the education where the pers, where people are buying their food in some fashion. just to make that awareness, you know that, that we just can't be spending all this money in wasting all this food. and we're seeing some of this where there's value in the food that that's being thrown away. if you can capture it, you can turn it in,

keep it in the food supply chain by turning it into feed or using it as a role in creating and to make your new food products. it takes a lot of, uh, creatively and a, just a lot of awareness and education. is there any way to reallocate food, ways to countries, and people who do not have enough to eat? or does it cost too much to redistribute food waste? i would say it probably cost too much money to ship food long distances that have already been shipped from the point of production you're, you start to get it, whether it's due to the weight, you're moving a lot of pounds and then the whole part of the you know, the perishable food has to be consumed within a certain amount of time. it can be frozen. in some cases. i think there's is one of the key things with,

with that leads to food waste is the dates they put on package from the products to say, you know, best buy, use buy and really understanding what those labels are. so if it says best buy the food is still good to eat after that date, it's just over the years, it may lose some of its flavor for example, but it's still safe. you can eat it. and so i think there'd be more export, you know, or transport of food that has to be pulled off the shelf in the country where they're going by those, those dates of the products where you could still still available. and we're seeing, we see a lot of that food ending up through, you know, donation change or, or a but where he really brought in to the heck up is the weight and the cost of transport. thank you so much, nora, but please pick around. nora will be joining us right after the break. and when we

come back, believe it or not, china and india produced more household food waste than any other country. and i bet you thought it was a united states. we'll have more after the break. no no, no, that's nonsense. we need some fresh ideas. betters stronger and effective. the,

oh god, i'm so tired the, the international, the, i'm just very slit out of as low as the, for the most of the time that you know, the coma for, for the service that was orders. but for some reason, there's actually this need the lawyer who do people who are looking

to refute the way we'll put that. but it would seem to by, with leisure when you know, been removed from the booth, it was the distortion. a really quick question. and it was more than the china and india produced more household food waste than any other country. and an estimated 92000000 and 69000000 tons everywhere, respectively. these are not surprising as both of these countries have by far the

largest populations. and while food waste has often been thought of to be correlated to wealthier countries, there are similarities between developed and developing countries. it is estimated that food with per capita is actually the highest in western asia in sub saharan africa. this is because, as we mentioned earlier, a huge portion of food is wasted before even hits the shelves for retail drew and production or distribution. the biggest food ex borders are typically responsible for producing the most food waste and in asia as a cultural dimension. when it comes to food waste, while the chinese people traditionally value frugality and have a long history with them and then shortages, a deeply rooted value is that of expressing hospitality and showing face in doing so, an important standard is the amount of leftovers in chinese culture when eating out, the holes traditionally order more food rather than less to show hospitality to his

guests. the more food left on either the more hospitable and generous the host is seen as if the food is all eaten, then it symbolizes a stingy host and the guests are left hungry because they've cleaned up their plates. it is estimated that 12 percent of food that is served as wasted in chinese cities and for large banquets, even more severe or more than one 3rd of the food is dumped. in south korea must bonds or finish eating sessions are extremely popular across all social media platform. please, champions of monk phones are proud. big stomachs, king, which are seen as a symbol of wealth, luck and prosperity. france has now emerged as a leader when it comes to attacking food waste at the legislative level. in 2016 france made it illegal for retailers to throw food away, and instead they must redistribute the food to those in need. the law is punitive with fines of up to $3000.00 euro is part each infraction. china is also tackling

its food waste problem with a lot in 2021 that has band competitive eating and binge eating mustang videos. president shifting pain, also launch a clean plate campaign in that fighting food waste, though that has not been as popular with citizens on social media south for you has also managed to reduce food waste. in recent years, when the government made residents for sol pay for recycling, depending on how much food waste they were creating. now let's bring back nor a goldstein editor and publisher of bio cycle. so nora, they say that america has an obesity problem. so what's causing that, is it simply more consumption of packaged food, or does it have to do with the over indulgence and just having too many calories from the food available? i would say the obesity challenge is attributed in some ways to,

to the food waste challenge. but i really think it has to do with a, of what people who it's, it's, it's actually it's, it's all socio economic classes. it's not just for people, it's not just rich people. so so much of that is just so much of the food that is convenient t is not healthy for you. it's caloric. also we see that food companies keep introducing the latest and greatest a fast food or, or dessert or something and, and when you look at the calories and it smooth these different things. so you're just, there were consuming so many more calories and they're, they're empty calories. so they're not necessarily added to it a good way to our bodies of maybe to a certain extent. you know,

if you get the extra large meal at the, at the fast food restaurant with the biggest soda possible, you know, that you, it goes to that bargain mentality. and so we are over consuming, but i don't think it's really directly related to just wage the wasting of food. now is fluid waste, a scientific problem or a societal problem where we have normalized discarding food that we don't want to eat? and how do you change a habit of basically an entire society? it's very good question. um, i would say that it's a combination of, of a weird is a, it's a social, it's a, uh educational combined with innovation and technology. so if we can, and we're seeing this in the whole plan base for

a rena where if you can get really high protein and in a much smaller carbon footprint, for example, um, is that, you know, would, is that a way to go? so we're, the food that we do consume can last longer, have less carbon footprint. but i think at this point in the game, we know all the facts about how much food we're wasting and why and, and where it goes in the harm it does. and what the biggest for known the area is and how do we affect the behavior change around it? what is really where to, where is the point of intervention, where you can really create the behavior change. and i think to a certain extent, those in do industries from, from a farm to table, you know,

a just have to somehow be part of this joint effort to use the food we grow and we buy and, and to put, they always put it towards highest and best and use so i think that tends to fall more on social and social fact. yeah. and behavioral psychological factors that actual technology and how kind of inducing food ways to help to fight climate change. there's a, a fact that's been around now for a lot of years and nobody's disapproved. it is that if food waste were its own country, it would be the 3rd largest, largest a bit or a greenhouse gases after china in united states. so it's well known, it's documented by putting some waste in the landfill. the uh,

is the image greenhouse gases, the trends growing and transport of, of food, you know, to the markets, the image greenhouse gases, so by reducing and be reducing food waste, using the food we got to grow, it will and, and absolutely reducing the amount we throw away is, is paramount. it's, you know, when you're looking at a lot of issues related to climate change, taking care of the waste problem and from the one would think that would be one of the easier challenges to solve. but we're still throwing away millions and millions of millions of tons is food was actually causing hunger or are they not necessarily related? yeah, well yes, actually i'll tell you why. we find that when you capture food

that still edible and you make a can use it to make meals. we have a huge hunger problem. food in the security problem in, in united states. and i not as familiar with the challenge is elsewhere around the globe. but if we seen when you can rescue to prepare it and put it in, in a lot of times, people don't want it as a handout. so you make it in a retail situation where it's that they buy people, buy it, it, it, it's, it's preserves dignity and you're getting a healthy meal from food that otherwise would be thrown away. so one of the ways to approach it is you really look at what we call the meal gaps at, you know, let's just say in a, in a city or a j, a regional area and determine where the populations are that are the most viewed in

secure and then look into how you can capture and re distribute food as well was put in community gardens and irving farms in neighborhoods that have very little access to fresh food. and that's another excellent way to use. you start to create this connection to the swell and this independence in neighborhoods that are very disadvantage. and what are the obstacles that prevent food donations to countries that suffer from food scare? so these are their incentives to encourage these donations. so i think where i see that i'm not, that's an area i'm not super familiar with, but i know where we're seeing so much to get wasted. i'm sitting in porch or you know, it tends to, in my mind when i, when i think i, it's mostly just from reading, it's more grains and, and essentially,

you know, the to work. but i'll just say dietary essentials is that that can get hung up in international trade commodities, trading as far as edible food. i think that's another and high protein plant base foods that are little more show stable i, i would imagine that would be better fit for exporting. then you know, millions of pounds of state didn't get it. and then that kind of thing, cuz you have to consider that in a lot of countries, they don't have access to refrigeration. like we do. so it's kind of taking nutrients, rich drawing gradients and preserving them. and then putting them, you know, in an export import situation. thank you so much more for joining us today. now

there is no winter when it comes to food waste as it comes as an economic loss on the society with 0 benefits to anyone. and this is a serious problem globally, but luckily there's a growing awareness and a push for change to mitigate food waste. much of food waste originates at the grocery store, a level with surplus groceries or products are nearing the end of the shelf life or damaged or the produce. that just doesn't look pretty. instead of tossing the surplus, grocery stores can often partner with food, kitchens or other travel organizations to facilitate the redistribution process to those who need it. the other solutions include processing the surplus, grocery to use as part of the feed for poultry farms in france. the grocery stores, inter marsh has found a huge success by offering reduced prices on misfits fruits and vegetables that usually get thrown out and re educating consumers that they are actually perfectly

good to consume. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything the the boss can do either speak with key at the washington state. the process is to do the computer system on assume the 2 professional men city and to keep the list of all but each what they used to

distribute to the left was the door after we withdrew truths from key f. as promised, the key of authorities as their patrons usually do, through it all into the wastebasket of history. where of the guarantees that they will not continue to abandon such agreements. but it was a reveal to draw some agreement in showing you crazy courtesy the here's the key of signed glen scrapped on the pressure from his lesson back is the host. so the assets of these keeping delegation a day off to it had been to thing 5 african officials that reject cain is like plain which would quickly i could in much of the media that russia target and keep doing the piece listen to the city on friday we did not witness any

did not to and and the so let's not put in here, but did you go to bump shelter today? no, no, no, i didn't go to visit petersburg. interested in going forward drops off interruptions. northern capital policy is being provided extensive coverage of the major annual event of the united economies around the world and on some milk milk. he's in ms. eileen classified documents of the keys in the government of a witch hunt. again, semi open things is a clear case of double. sam is questioning why is the similar been to present by them the live and from our end to the actual new center. and most of this is the welcome to

the global news out and at the top stories that shaped lot of inputs in has revealed details of age off the agreement on new crazy tri city, which he said he agreed to last year in the early stages of the conflict, but then scrap under pressure from his lesson back of the russian presence coleman's cane law and see an african piece even delegation in some features. but we did not agree with you quite inside that the steel would be confidential, but we also never disclosed it or commented on it. the draft of this agreement was initialed by representative of the head of the negotiating group from t f. he put his signature there. here it is. when he used it's called the treaty on permanent neutrality and guarantees for the security of ukraine. it contains 18 articles and there was also an appendix. this provisions concern the armed forces and many other things. everything is written

there down to units of military equipment and personnel of the armed forces. here's the document, it is initial. but after we withdrew troops from jeff has promised the key of authorities, as their patrons usually do, through it all into the waste basket of history. some were of the guarantees that they will not continue to abandon such agreements. though he will reveal vice president positions. you quote, integrated so frank, it's, um, it's $85000.00 kittens to in piece. i'm massively scaled back in some of the same equipment i'm confirm is permanent neutrality in its constitution with russia, the us u. k. time and falls listed as guarantors, meanwhile, athlete is having suppressed that position on the conflict with the south african president, saying the war must and cooling on both sides of the escalates on seas. on some waco has the details. i think it's quite remarkable that the lodging there put in

felt the need to bring this agreement to his meeting with the african leaders in my opinion, that it shows the significance. he attaches to these mediation efforts, as well as russia's reputation because uh, i think what he's trying to do is to counter western narrative that the russian military operation in ukraine came absolutely on per bolt on the western media and western officials like to present it as a, this cruel attempt to grab your print, entire true, where in fact uh, in the view of the russian president, what russia does is defending its own legitimate security concerns in ukraine. and he was very straightforward in describing russian perspective in front of the african leaders. he said that the, uh, that agreement that he actually demonstrates it to them, had this title on permanent neutrality and security guarantees it to ukraine. and

that it was essentially the status was a secure distribution in europe, off to the end of the cold war. now uh, according to the rest of the president, uh, the kremlin remains open to o. uh, peace facilitation initiatives. as long as they are down on the principle of fairness and recognition of legitimate security interest of all sides. and he thinks the african leaders for understanding the context, all of that conflict um not submitting to western pressure. now the african guests on their side side that they also have a practical, uh, national uh, security uh, interest in a, solving the ukranian consummate. it has prevents problems in the field of energy and food security. an unprecedented crisis in its nature and he showed you already

to support task in removing the obstacle solve this conflict. thanks to you and all the actors like to, to you and to you. and we managed to pause the grain deal. i am confident that russia, one of the foremost nations of the un and permanent member of the security council, will observe the you and tell it to as a continent we are being negatively affected in terms of why economies. the prices of commodities have gone up, particularly grain and fertilizer and the prices of fuel have also gone off. and this is a consequence of the war that is ongoing. we would like to see further engagements with regards to the processes that are leads to the end of this will for the time being uh, the so called black sea deal,

which uh foresees the uninhibited expert, the few craney and with russian green's and fertilizers to the global markets uh is working on paper, but the russian side of the deal is being actively sabotaged by western countries. as the russian leader re, to re that russian remains open to any piece, proof of pulse when it comes to ukraine or when it comes to the way international system should be wrong here. uh, stress that uh, every country has a key interest in being solver and in having its territorial integrity protected. but the principles of the un charter should apply equally to all. they should not be cherry pick that if all countries subscribed to the same standard or, or the same international laws rather than cherry picked rules

selected by certain group of countries them and only them security and peace could be insurance for all the pays prime, but followed by the south african present, it was given a warm reception from russia's 4 minutes, a 2nd level of who said it's referring to the principles that most supports, the president of the muscles, the president from a folds and now and then close. this article makes identified among the well known 12 points of the chinese proposal, those buyers that are close to their position. they include guaranteeing that there are no double standards that all un principal. so i respected that there are no unilateral sanctions or attempts to ensure one social security at the expense of the security of others. those are the fundamental approaches that we share. so our partners from the african union have shown an understanding of the 2 causes of the crisis created by the west. it is necessary to get out of this situation by

addressing these causes through development of concrete actions to eliminate them. these are what has been undermining justifiable security on the european continent for many years earlier. i so it's a jo mulanda giblet who alice of south africa, so as to reject these phones because of the west is more interested in prolonging the concepts a jonathan beacon printer glass said um, well, i'm not in favor of peace while noting save all bases, fire that shouldn't be happening in euclid. so that should be, that is a senior sports person for pentico. you don't want to do anything that is good to do. we a piece as far as i should as concept. the west was saying, this is what we've been waiting for. we'll be putting money. we've been talking that we looked at an odd way to benefit the industrial companies. so it's worth nothing to do with you. great. everything is good to do with what washington, london, brussels, whatever that they want to achieve,

but it's mostly suddenly healthy, the actual citizen. so if you click, that's the unfortunate part of this country. without the assistance of his full security team that present no south africa, visits in russia, also a little slow and 1st refused to let that seem leave and subsequently blocked his space flight. the team was left stuck aboard an aircraft in poland. it is today the play and finally took off from moore. full low is now heading home, around $100.00 people, including douglas and been held in portland for 3 days. they will claim some south african officials, diplomatic possible. it will strip, searched by police it into the accusations of racism by the head of the president of those as a courtesy also says that load is that remained on board the plane did so board voluntarily, as it was only preventing people from leaving the edge off if they were carrying weapons they is followed they often.
