According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), one-third of the food produced is wasted due to human behavior that is wasteful of food. The National Food Agency (BAPANAS) sees this phenomenon as urgent because in Indonesia itself there are still many people who lack food, but on the other hand, there are still many people who waste food. In fact, a grain of rice that we eat is valuable and can be beneficial to others in need.

Fourth, also pay attention to the expiration date of food, do not let food that is still long expired be eaten first, so that food that is about to expire will not be eaten and end up being thrown away. Fifth, we can also reuse food ingredients that can still be used, such as broccoli stems used for soup, bones processed into broth, even leftover rice processed into snacks in the form of crackers. Remaining processed food that is still suitable for consumption can also be reprocessed into other dishes, such as shredded fried chicken to be used for soup.

"Padahal zero food waste itu memanfaatkan makanan yang masih layak dikonsumsi, tapi hanya karena suatu keadaan, makanan tersebut tidak bisa kita manfaatkan. Makanan tersebut tentunya masih dalam keadaan aman, tidak rusak, tapi berpotensi terbuang.Kita harus memahamkan bahwa ini adalah masalah nasional. Ketika kita tidak berkontribusi secara individu, ini akan berpengaruh pada panasnya bumi Indonesia, yang ketika kita mau menanam tanaman lagi, udah engga bersahabat. Khawatir jika ujung-ujungnya kita harus makan sesuatu yang bukan panganan, ujar Nita." However, zero food waste utilizes food that is still fit for consumption, but only because of a certain condition, the food cannot be utilized by us. The food is certainly still in a safe condition, not damaged, but potentially wasted. "We need to understand that this is a national problem. When we do not contribute individually, it will affect the heat of the Indonesian earth, which when we want to plant crops again, is no longer friendly. Worried that in the end, we have to eat something that is not food," said Nita.
