Using economic theories and models, this research paper evaluates how reducing food wastage can help achieve zero hunger, one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2). The focus of this analysis is on economic inefficiencies resulting from food wastage. It also looks at the effects on food security, market mechanisms, policy instruments, and technological innovations used to address these problems. In conclusion, addressing food waste through economic incentives, regulatory frameworks, and improved market coordination will significantly boost and facilitate agricultural production in a country, promoting food safety policies leading to zero hunger.
