\subsection{Societal background or problem}
Globally, about one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, amounting to 1.3 billion tons pear
year. Food year \cite{gustavsson_global_2011}. Not only does this pose an ethical dilemma for people suffering from hunger, food wastage
and losses have has severe
impacts on energy losses, GHG emissions environmental implications: useless consumption of energy, water and land
use water spillage \cite{gustavsson_global_2011}. and the contribution to GHG emissions. On a per-capita basis, the
major part majority of food is wasted in industrialised countries. In Europe and North America, consumers waste around 95-115 kg/year, in sub-Saharan Africa and South/Southeast Asia only 6-11 kg/year.
In Europe, 28.940 km2 of land are used without purpose, equaling 3/4 of the total available area of the Netherlands.
