Why Is Food Waste So Devastating?

Between 33% & 50% of all food produced on this planet is wasted. If food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd highest emitter of greenhouse gases - which makes food waste reduction one of the most effective & important solution to mitigating climate change & keeping global heating to within 2°C of warming.

Yet, it is often overlooked and only 6% of the Paris Agreement signatories have any target on food waste reduction.

All of this while 690 million people suffer from hunger and 1.3 billion people suffer from moderate food insecurity globally.

This is simply unacceptable. Read Matt Homewood blog on why Stockholm+50 MUST be the tuning point for global food waste.
