Don’t waste food
- Roughly 1/3 food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted.
- Food losses and waste amounts to roughly US$ 680 billion in industrialized countries and US$ 310 billion in developing countries.
- Fruits and vegetables, plus roots and tubers have the highest wastage rates of any food.
