Think Eat Save

Food waste is a hugely important global issue. Estimates suggest that well over US$1 trillion worth of food is wasted each year (World Bank 2020). This represents more than one-third of all the food that is produced globally, using over a quarter (28 per cent) of the world’s agricultural area (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO] 2013). This waste has devastating effects on both the planet and people. In 2022, an estimated 29.6 per cent of the global population was moderately or severely food insecure, and up to 783 million people were affected by hunger, around 122 million more than in 2019 (FAO 2023a).
