Tackling Food Wastage With Innovation

NOT many realise that World Food Day is celebrated on Oct 16. Organisations that mark the occasion include the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

This could be due to the fact that the food security level in Malaysia is high. In recent years, based on studies by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Malaysia ranks 41 out of 113 countries on the Global Food Security Index. Malaysia ranks second in Southeast Asia, just behind Singapore in terms of food security.
