<strong>Food</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
<strong>Food</strong> waste is defined as any food material that is lost or discarded at the production, processing, retail and<br />
consumption stages of the food supply chain.<br />
<strong>Food</strong> waste management involves all the methods used to handle the vast amounts of waste generated at all<br />
the above-mentioned stages. These methods differ based on the kind of waste that is being treated, the<br />
chemical process in use and the end-purpose of the treated waste. Composting and anaerobic digestion are<br />
two common methods employed in treating food waste.<br />
<strong>Market</strong> Dynamics of <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Market</strong>:<br />
Wastage of food can be a result of factors such as production inefficiency, processing losses, marketing<br />
necessities and consumption-related issues. <strong>Food</strong> wastage due to production inefficiency is more frequent in<br />
developing regions and wastage at the consumer-end is higher in developed regions.<br />
The market for food waste management is closely tied to the increasing production and consumption of<br />
food, the rising environmental threat from landfilling of waste, and the economic incentive for waste<br />
treatment.<br />
The primary driver for the food waste management market is the high and increasing food consumption and<br />
production across the globe. The problem of food waste is getting accelerated with many countries and<br />
international organizations pushing for the free exchange of food across the world and the fulfillment of<br />
basic nutrient requirements of every individual.<br />
