South Korea has reduced this problem to near-zero with RFID machines that build on a 2005 ban. The first American initiative to address this problem was the 2030 Champions coalition, announced in 2016 by Tom Vilsack and Gina McCarthy in partnership with companies like Weis (“wise”) and Delhaize (“del-EZ”). Sustainable Development Goal 12 aims to halve this problem per capita by 2030, as it contributes more greenhouse gas emissions than India and Russia per the FAO. A 2016 French law against this problem mandates that businesses like Carrefour (“kar-FOOR”) donate unsold items to achieve a “circular economy.” Efforts to reduce this problem include upcycling sub-grade scraps and CSA boxes of “imperfect” or “ugly” produce. For 10 points, name this problem whose solutions include source reduction at farms and donation to soup kitchens. ■END■
