One third of all food doesn’t make it from the farm to our stomachs. Throughout the production and processing of this food, a host of resources is wasted (seeds, water, energy, fertilizer, labour, land, financial capital) and greenhouse gases are emitted. Around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to food waste. Globally, more than a billion tons of food is thrown away each year, while one in nine people remains undernourished. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, stop climate change, provide social employment, feed people and reduce financial costs for households, companies and farmers.
