Addressing the Food Waste Crisis in South Africa

South Africa is fighting the food waste crisis with creative community projects, education, and new policies. Even though the country produces a lot of food, nearly a third is wasted while many people still face hunger. This waste not only harms the environment but also deepens social divides. To tackle this problem, South Africa is encouraging smarter food use, better distribution, and a shift in how people think about food. By working together, the nation hopes to reduce waste and ensure everyone has enough to eat.
