The Problem of Food Waste

Food waste is a significant issue in many communities, with an estimated 30-40% of the food produced globally being wasted. This not only has economic implications but also contributes to environmental degradation. The production, transportation, and disposal of food result in greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and soil degradation. The environmental impact of food waste is substantial, with the United Nations estimating that it is responsible for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste also has significant economic implications, with the United Nations estimating that it costs the global economy around $1.3 trillion annually.*

The Solution: Reducing Food Waste

Reducing food waste is a simple yet effective way to make a positive impact on the environment and the economy.
