Food Waste Problem
1.3 billion tons of food is wasted annually
One third of all food produced is lost or wasted, costing the global economy close to $940 billion each year.
There is enough food to feed everyone but…
One quarter of the food currently lost or wasted would be enough to feed 870 million hungry people.
Up to 10% of global greenhouse gases comes from uneaten food that is produced
Food rotting in landfill releases methane – 28x stronger than carbon dioxide.
Reducing food waste to address climate change
Eliminating global food waste would save 4.4 million tonnes of C02 a year, the equivalent of taking one in four cars off the road.
