Roughly one-third of all food produced for human consumption around the world goes to waste.
Environmentally, it accounts for about 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, 24% of the freshwater and 28 million tonnes of the fertilisers and pesticides used in agriculture.
Some tips to help you waste less food:
- Meal plan, write a shopping list and stick to it.
- Freeze leftovers or food about to go off.
- Get creative with meals and use leftovers.
- Share meals with neighbours.
