Food loss (FL) and food waste (FW) have become severe global problems, contributing to resource inefficiency environmental degradation. Approximately 6% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are derived from FW, which is usually discarded in landfills, emitting methane, a that 28 times more harmful than CO2. Diverting the path FW towards energy industry represents promising avenue mitigate impact save resources while generating substitutes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach was utilized conduct systematic literature review on 10 different conversion processes used convert FL into energy. Anaerobic bioconversion integrated with pyrolysis emerges as potential eco-friendly solution management, nutrient recovery production various forms, including biogas, heat, biohydrogen biochar. Despite its potential, anaerobic digestion still faces some challenges related intermediate compounds (VOCs, NH3, H2S), necessitate precise process control optimization. Nonetheless, converting can provide economic benefits context circular economy. This offers insightful information stakeholders, academics policymakers who interested utilizing means producing sustainable by summarizing important findings ten waste-to-energy processing methods their improved efficiency.
