Food wastage is harmful because it wastes resources and could have fed hungry people.  

We can reduce food wastage by taking only what we need, finishing our meals, storing food properly, and sharing leftover food with others.  

Leftover food can be shared with needy people, reused safely later, or given for animal feeding if suitable.
