Summary/Abstract: The concept of Food waste is one of the leading topics of the 21st century. It concerns the daily lives of all global residents, as they all contribute to this problem, which often goes by unnoticed and can have much worse consequences than nominally expected. Furthermore, it is indicated that this problem, in its narrower sense, actually represents the consequence of a much more complex problem, and not the cause of local types of environmental pollution itself – bad habits of the population, uneven distribution of food in the world and excessive food production lead to the emergence of environmental risks of global proportions and influence the increased emission of CO2 in the atmosphere, which further contributes to the strengthening and worsening of the greenhouse gas effects and global warming on the environment.
