The major social issues faced by citizens in Malaysia are a lot of food wasted in the country such as agriculture which is not fresh, has been eliminated, and causes pollution and cases of diseases among citizens. From the information, Malaysia is in an untenable position and must act quickly to address its enormous food waste issue.

This study is based on secondary data for researcher to analysis the issue and suggested Environment Management Tools (E.M.T) for overcome the issue. Due to the lack of strict regulations for waste management, land pollution has become a serious issue, impacting the ecosystem, environment, and communities. Without effective action from authorities, these problems continue to worsen. Farmers, agricultural SMEs, and local communities lack necessary skills and experience in implementing environmentally friendly waste treatment methods through (E.M.T). As a result, these wastes cause land, water and air pollution which results in soil contamination, harmful gas and the residue may be channelled into a water source thereby contaminating the water and aquatic ecosystem
