The world is wasting food on a staggering scale.




Food waste is undermining food security and compromising progress toward a zero-waste, circular future. Nearly 19% of all food available to consumers is wasted every year, accelerating climate warming emissions and draining valuable resources such as land, water and energy.


Reducing food waste is a top climate solution, and a smart choice to protect resources and save money.
