According to global statistics, 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted. Surprisingly, 35% of the food that goes to trash is still edible. The food waste is happening in every stage of food cycle such as from production, processing, distribution, and consumption stages. The food may get waste due to many reasons: Irresponsible production, storage, and consumption. It effects the poor people and environment also. Higher education students have major role in prevention of food wastage and providing awareness to public. But recent statistics giving alarming warning in higher education institutes. Studies revealed that around 51.3 gm to 121 gm of food waste is happening per meal in academic institutions.
