Food wasted in China can feed 3 crore annually: Study
The 17-18 million tonnes of food that was wasted across China annually could feed 3-5 crore people every year, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The problem is reportedly linked to the Chinese etiquette where a host is expected to serve excess food. Earlier, the UN reported that around one-third of food produced in 2015 was lost or wasted.
