The problem of food wastage impacts the human race by reducing the amount of food available to all humans, and it affects the earth by reducing its capability to provide enough food for the future.

Explanation:

As food is wasted in various regions of the world, that food is no longer available to be shared with others who due to social or monetary standing are not able to participate in the indulgence.
Wasted food is tainted, and cannot be shipped, stored, or distributed for human consumption.

Early this month, August 2017, we passed the day when humans had used up a full year's resources on earth. That means we are already using up resources we need for next year. And every year the day moves forward on the calendar by a full day. These resources provide us with our shelter, food, water, and other needs. Wasting resources will mean our days of enjoying the bounties of earth are becoming shorter.
