Food recovery can make a significant contribution towards reducing hunger in the local community. The relation between environmental exposures and nutritional status is complex. Therefore, it is very essential to find out some strategic solutions to implement the waste management techniques by the community in dayto-day life. This conference will emphasize on these issues through the following themes----- About the Conference: Themes of the Conference: Modernization and progress has had its share of disadvantages and one of the main aspects of concern is the pollution it is causing to the earth – be it land, air, and water. With increase in the global population and the rising demand for food and other essentials, there has been a rise in the amount of waste being generated daily by each household and industry. This waste is ultimately thrown into waste collection centers from where it is further thrown into the landfills and dumps. However, either due to resource crunch or inefficient infrastructure, not all of this waste gets collected and transported to the final dumpsites. If the management and disposal of waste is improperly done, it can cause serious impacts on health and problems to the surrounding environment. The waste management is important to prevent the pollution of the environment & to repair & reduce damage caused by pollution, to safeguard a healthy, pleasant ecologically diverse & sustainable environment; to prevent the generation & the harmful effects of waste. Waste that is not properly managed is a serious health hazard and lead to the spread of infectious diseases. The nutritional status of population depends to a great extent on environmental conditions. The relationship between nutrition & environment was taken into account in the conceptual framework introduced by UNICEF in the early 90s. Food waste has its negative effects on  Environmental impact on nutritional status: concepts and measurements  Interactions between nutrition and environmental exposures: effects on health outcomes in men, women and children  Strategies for reduction in food waste  Food recycling: an innovative way to reduce waste  Zero food waste: zero hunger  Food policy for zero waste  Waste disposal: environmental and health impact assessment  Ergonomics of green jobs (renewable power generation, waste management and recycling)  Entrepreneurship with zero waste  Waste management : Human and non human resource conservation  Zero waste: zero carbon farming  Waste utilization from biodegradable and non biodegradable resources.
