Well, I and my friends are doing a research on Food Waste. To collect data for our research we organized an online survey about food waste. Our research is almost done (will upload it online in a month or so). Food waste is one of the tackling problems in our modern world and if we do not take steps now, we might end up in a tragedy.

III) What do you do with food waste? Ans. Dispose them-40%, Re-use them- 37.5%
IV) Which of the following reasons do you associate with your family for creating food waste? Ans. Tempting offers- 25% Buying items in bulk- 15% Large Gatherings- 25% Others- 17.5%
V) Why do you think reducing Food Waste is a priority in our times? Ans. Many People go hungry around the world- 70% A lot of resources are wasted for food- 25% Others- 5%
VI) How much do you waste as a student in your school areas? Ans. 0% wasted- 50% 1-10% wasted- 35% 20-40% wasted- 10% 40-70%- 5%
VII) How much do you try to avoid food waste at home? (rate on a scale of 10 based on your involvement) Ans. 0 – 7.5% 1- 2.5% 3-2.5% 4-2.5% 5-7.5% 6-2.5% 7-5% 8-10% 9-22.5% 10-37.5% Would like to thank all of you for taking part in the survey! :D

nice report and as smriti stated it is amazing to see that 90% have thought about it and still there is a lot of wastage going on. lets hope it will decrease in the days to come.

Many persons go hungry around the world, thus we all must stop wastage of food.

The result is really interesting. The fact that 90% know about food waste danger and still a large portion of food being wasted is a sad figure.

It's really interesting! I was surprised at 2.5% of the interviewee making 3~5 kg food waste everyday. How on earth a person can through away 3~5 kg of food? Even eating 5 kg of food is also difficult to do.

Very nice survey! However, the results may not be very objective as soon as eco-generation members mostly participated in it...
