Avoiding the production of food waste is the recommended strategy for managing it, and consumers can play a significant role in this by reducing food waste at home.
NGOs like Food from the Heart support Singapore reduce food waste by distributing extra bread from bakeries to those in need.
To reduce food wastage, DBS Bank has cut the amount of food served for every event by 20%.
Community Development Councils and grassroots leaders
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
They have been working with NEA to support ideas from the ground up that focus on lower food waste.
NGOs like Food from the Heart and The Food Bank Singapore provide extra food to those in need in order to reduce food waste.
Food and beverage (F&B) industry
Public and private sector organizations
To help the F&B industry in reducing food waste, NEA and the Agri-Food and Medical Power of Singapore have provided standards and rules.
DBS Bank has taken plans to cut food waste at events and within the bank.
National Environment Agency (NEA)
To reduce food waste in Singapore, NEA has been working with numerous industry stakeholders, neighbourhood clubs, and governmental organisations.
International organizations
The findings from the search lacked any specific instances of foreign organisations working to cut down on food waste in Singapore. The search results did, however, include Singapore's collaboration with other countries to grow its food import sources and keep a national stockpile to improve food security.
Government agencies
Giving unwanted or unused food and recycling or processing food waste are just a few of the plans the Singaporean government has put in place to avoid food waste.
Factors
Lack of incentives ( society )
Excessive consumption ( consumer )
Inefficient allocation of resources ( global )
Food packaging (national )
Overproduction (consumer )
Food waste shows not enough resource allocation and insufficient use of limited resources, including land, water, animal feed, and fertiliser.
If food waste from plastic food packaging is not removed, it will get into other recyclables in the blue recycling bins and harm the recycling process.
Overproduction of food due to the need to meet food demand results in wastage
Waste is caused by food production that is overly numerous in order to match the needs of customers.
The issue of food waste in Singapore has been made worse by the lack of incentives for wet and dry waste to be split.
