The costs associated with food waste-up to one-third of all harvested food going uneaten—have significant social, environmental, and economic implications. A growing number of articles have explored different aspects of this urgent issue; most of these articles focus on ways to reduce food waste or ways to enhance the management of food waste. In this light, the book chapter adopts a comprehensive method to learn more about the different forms of food waste and how to use that information to make smarter, more long-term decisions about how to handle this problem. The environmentally friendly and cost-effective composting process is a great way to manage food scraps. The study’s overarching goals are to (a) gauge participants’ familiarity with food waste and (b) evaluate composting’s efficacy in achieving long-term sustainability in food waste management. The chapter might shift its emphasis from traditional processing to food waste valorization and innovative methods in order to support long-term strategies for managing food scraps. Furthermore, it seeks to showcase the most innovative and environmentally friendly composting solutions for managing food scraps. This chapter provides a thorough analysis of the challenges associated with food waste management and dives into the potential solutions.
