In the developed world, food is so inexpensive that it is cheaper to wildly overproduce and ignore wastage. If you could eliminate poverty, you'd just end up with higher food production and the same rate of food wastage, resulting in more wasted food overall. Efforts to reduce poverty and food waste, running in parallel are what we need. Articles like these do not help. In the developing world, most of the food wast that occurs at the source (farm/distribution) is unintentional and would be reduced with better infrastructure, policy, property rights, etc. Building a modern cold-storage warehouse in these locations is not a solution!
