Bengaluru is on the brink of welcoming a groundbreaking solution to combat food wastage—the ‘No Food Waste’ vehicle, generously sponsored by the Airports Authority of India.

This innovative initiative marks a crucial stride in addressing the alarming issue of food wastage prevalent in the city. Astonishingly, a staggering 35% of the food produced in the city ends up being discarded, exposing the inefficiencies in the food production process.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Hotels Association (BBHA) recently shed light on the gravity of the situation, revealing that a colossal 68.7 million tonnes of food go to waste annually. The introduction of the ‘No Food Waste’ vehicle is indeed a commendable effort to tackle this distressing trend.

A notable aspect is that the prime contributors to food wastage are wedding halls and star hotels, where substantial amounts of perfectly edible food are callously discarded, irrespective of its remaining shelf life. It is imperative to acknowledge the potential risks associated with collecting surplus food, emphasizing the need for stringent safety measures during the process.

In essence, the ‘No Food Waste’ vehicle is not just a vehicle; it symbolizes a transformative approach towards curbing food wastage, promoting sustainability, and fostering a conscientious attitude towards resource utilization in Bengaluru.
