Food waste accounts for 24% of the green house gas emissions that relate to food. Of this food waste two thirds food’s emissions come from food that is lost in supply chains or wasted by consumers. Almost two-thirds of this is due to losses in the supply chain often the result of poor storage and handling, whilst the other third is food thrown away by retailers and consumers. https://ourworldindata.org/food-waste-emissions
Reducing food waste is something we can all do. See this earlier item for tips – https://greentau.org/2021/08/09/eco-tips-4/
And for a different way of using up bread that might otherwise be thrown away, try Chester Cake. It is a variation of bread pudding without the eggs, and baked as a pie. This recipe comes from https://www.wandercooks.com/chester-squares-gur-cake/
