Abstract
Food waste is a global problem associated with environmental, economic and social impacts. Since the food waste amount to one third of generated municipal solid waste, it represents one of the most unutilized waste streams. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce food waste generation and implement strategies to minimize its impacts on the environment, mostly reflected through greenhouse emissions, water and land use. However, diverse and highly variable nature and composition of food waste is significantly affecting its valorisation and pose main challenge of the food waste management. In order to meet sustainability goals, food waste should be managed in an environmentally and economically viable manner.
