Global food waste: 17% of food ends up in the garbage | SmartGreen Post

© Ripley Munns on Unsplash Food waste is a global problem, not just the developed world. According to the new Food Waste Index Report 2021 of the United Nations environment program (Unep) and the British NGO WRAP, “About 931 million tons of food, or 17% of the total food available to consumers in 2019, ended up in waste bins from households, retailers, restaurants and other food services ”, as much as 23 million fully loaded 40-ton trucks, which, lined up, would circle the Earth 7 times. The Unep – WRAP report examines the food waste that occurs in retail outlets, restaurants and homes, by counting both food and inedible parts such as bones and shells. The report represents the most comprehensive collection, analysis and modeling of data on food waste to date and offers governments a methodology for measuring food waste. 152 data contributing to food waste were identified in 54 countries.
