A. Increase climate change and lead to a DECREASE in biodiversity
When food is wasted, it often ends up in landfills where it decomposes and releases methane gas into the atmosphere. This contributes to climate change, which can have negative effects on biodiversity by changing habitats, altering ecosystems, and impacting the populations of various species. Ultimately, food waste can lead to a decrease in biodiversity.
