Before you start to pull cables in for new drops, take a few minutes to plan your run. The fewer sharp bends and wall penetrations you have to make, the easier the pull will be. Also take into consideration the possible need for additional drops you may need in those areas in the future.
Food waste or food loss is food that is discarded or lost uneaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous, and occur at the stages of production, processing, retailing and consumption. As of 2013, half of all food is wasted worldwide, according to the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME). Loss and wastage occurs at all stages of the food supply chain or value chain.
All told, 133 billion pounds of food was lost in 2010 â that's 31 percent of the total food supply. And it was worth about $161.6 billion. Of course, we are likely to waste some foods more than others.According to USDA, the top three food groups lost in 2010 were dairy products (25 billion pounds, or 19 percent of all the lost food); vegetables (25 billion pounds, or 19 percent); and grain products (18.5 billion pounds, or 14 percent).he sheer volume of food wasted in the U.S. each year should cause us some shame, given how many people are hungry both in our own backyard and abroad.
