Plunkett's waste

Plunkett's waste refers to excess materials that result from food production but are not used or consumed, leading to environmental issues and resources wastage. Named after environmental advocate and expert, it highlights how much food, packaging, and other resources are discarded at various stages—farming, processing, and consumption. This not only contributes to landfill overflow and greenhouse gas emissions but also signifies a lost opportunity to feed those in need. Addressing Plunkett's waste involves improving efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable practices throughout the food supply chain.
