This Sunday 29 September is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. Food waste has negative impacts across society, affecting not only food security but also our economies and societies. It is staggering that in 2024, almost one third of the food produced globally is lost or wasted.

The world produces enough food to feed everyone, and yet millions suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Food loss and waste exacerbate this problem by reducing the amount of food available for consumption, thus contributing to food insecurity. Many of the most highly nutritious foods, such as fresh produce, fishery, and animal products are highly perishable and sustain high levels of food loss.

Food loss and waste also translate into a substantial economic loss. This impacts not only producers but also consumers and nations, not to mention livelihoods and economic stability.
