Last September the UN Climate Change News reported that “In 2022, a staggering 1.05 billion tons of food were wasted, while 783 million people went hungry and a third of the global population faced food insecurity…Food loss and waste account for 8-10% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions – nearly five times the total emissions from the aviation sector – and contribute to substantial biodiversity loss, using up almost a third of the world’s agricultural land.” (1)
Reducing food waste is something we can all do that will help address the climate and biodiversity crises and improve global food security.
