<![CDATA[One type of waste can be distinguished from another, regardless of whether it was generated in an industrial, commercial, residential, or other setting. However, in the context of this investigation, it is of the utmost importance to do so. Malaysia, a developing country, has been using end-of-pipe treatment or regulation for some time now. The treatment and regulation done at the end of the pipe are, however, both inefficient and ineffective to a significant degree. Malaysia ought to pursue a variety of approaches to the management of waste, including the reduction of waste at its source and the minimization of waste. In order to reduce pollution, the laws that are currently in place need to be strengthened. The improper management of waste, both municipal and industrial, has the potential to have adverse effects on the health of humans. From a legal standpoint in Malaysia, we have compiled a summary of the published, studied, implemented, and discussed findings from around the world regarding food waste management. In total, 144 articles were examined. Coverage analysis of empirical studies was conducted using data from the case studies application to compare and contrast the two types of data. Finally, a research agenda was developed by extracting recommendations for future research from the articles in order to signal trends and assist academics, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders involved in the food chain in developing and studying practices to sustain and support stakeholders' actions to reduce food waste in urban areas, farms, retail, and other sustainable ecosystems.]]>
