Sustainable future
According to estimates by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), food waste has reached very high levels in the world today. Around a third of all food products in the world is lost or wasted in the various phases of the food chain, from production to consumption. This fact can be quantified in around 931 million tonnes of food, the cause of 10% of greenhouse gas emissions1.
