Food Waste\u2019s Massive Climate Toll<\/h3>

Is it the third biggest country?<\/p>

Is it the third biggest emitter?<\/p>

Almost. Food waste and loss emit so much that, if a country, it would rank third after the US and China.<\/p>

A third of all food produced for people globally is wasted or lost. This is a staggering environmental problem.<\/p>

Where is food wasted?<\/strong>
Waste happens between harvest and retail. It also occurs in retail outlets, restaurants, caf\u00e9s, canteens and households.<\/p>

Because food waste is so huge, there\u2019s a dedicated day<\/strong>
Stop Food Waste Day was on 24 April. Eight percent of global greenhouse gases come from food loss and waste.<\/p>

Waste but a lack<\/strong>
While huge amounts of food are wasted, millions still face hunger. Saving wasted food could feed 1.26 billion people.<\/p>

Who\u2019s the winner?<\/strong>
Households waste the most food \u2014 60% of all food loss and waste comes from households. This is avoidable.<\/p>

Solutions<\/strong>
Retailers can accept \u201cimperfect\u201d food \u2014 odd size, too big or too small. This stops unnecessary waste at the source.<\/p>

Start-ups like PimpUp rescue unwanted food from producers and sell it to households. Look for a local initiative near you.<\/p>

Restaurants and shops can link with charities to donate unused food. Food-sharing apps like Olio let neighbours share surplus.<\/p>

At home, plan meals based on food you already have. Save leftovers for the next day or turn them into sauces.<\/p>

Stale bread makes breadcrumbs or pudding. Use celery leaves as herbs. Compost organic waste at home or through local services.<\/p>

Scrappy Cooking by PlantYou is a great guide for using every part of your produce. Small changes make a big difference.<\/p>
