Wasted Food, Wasted Nutrients: Nutrient Loss from Wasted Food in the United States and Comparison to Gaps in Dietary Intake.
BACKGROUND Previous research has estimated that wasted food in the United States contains between 1,249 and 1,400 kcal per capita per day, but little is known about amounts of other nutrients embedded in the 31% to 40% of food that is wasted. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to calculate the nutritional value of food wasted at the retail and consumer levels in the US food supply, and contextuali...
متن کاملWasted Food, Wasted Energy: The Embedded Energy in Food Waste in the United States
This work estimates the energy embedded in wasted food annually in the United States. We calculated the energy intensity of food production from agriculture, transportation, processing, food sales, storage, and preparation for 2007 as 8080 +/- 760 trillion BTU. In 1995 approximately 27% of edible food was wasted. Synthesizing these food loss figures with our estimate of energy consumption for d...
متن کاملWasted Food: U.S. Consumers' Reported Awareness, Attitudes, and Behaviors
The U.S. wastes 31 to 40% of its post-harvest food supply, with a substantial portion of this waste occurring at the consumer level. Globally, interventions to address wasted food have proliferated, but efforts are in their infancy in the U.S. To inform these efforts and provide baseline data to track change, we performed a survey of U.S. consumer awareness, attitudes and behaviors related to w...
متن کاملNutrition in the Bin: A Nutritional and Environmental Assessment of Food Wasted in the UK
The UK currently has the most detailed, directly measured data for food wasted in the home. This includes information on the exact types of food wasted. These data allow calculation of the nutrients within that waste, as well as its environmental impact. The results progress the conversation beyond how much food is wasted or its energy content; it permits the implications for nutrition and sust...
متن کاملWasted salts and wasted bodies: new insight into the role of claudin 7 in the kidney.
IN MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS, epithelial sheets function as a barrier between two compartments via their ability to form tight junctions (TJs), which regulate the diffusion of fluid, electrolytes, and small molecules through the paracellular pathway. Members of the relatively recently described Claudin (Cldn) family of integral membrane proteins, with at least 23 distinct members in mammals, are ...
