Detailed explanation-1: -An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally each year, one third of all food produced for human consumption, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Global waste: what is the share of food waste? Over a third of all food produced ( 2.5 billion tons) is lost or wasted each year. One third of this occurs in the food production stage.
Detailed explanation-3: -We produce enough food across the world to wipe out global hunger – but 40% of food goes to waste. That’s 2.5 billion tonnes thrown away each year.
Detailed explanation-4: -About a third of all the food produced for human consumption each year – or roughly 1.3 billion tons – is lost or wasted, according to a new study commissioned by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Detailed explanation-5: -While worldwide hunger continues to rise, an estimated one-third of food produced is lost or wasted, equaling around 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted (4).
