Food waste in EU

In the EU, over 59 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually. The market value alone is estimated at 132 billion euros. At the same time, over 42 million people cannot afford a quality meal every second day.

One third of all food is wasted.

In the EU, over 59 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually. The market value alone is estimated at 132 billion euros. At the same time, over 42 million people cannot afford a quality meal every second day.

Globally, about a third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted. More than half of the food waste is produced by households (72kg per inhabitant). The remaining 46% is wasted upwards in the food supply chain: 19% by the manufacturers, 11% by restaurants, 8% in distribution and 8% in the production of food.

I really think that the way we treat food reflects on how we look on earth. If we as a society where more connected to earth, we would know better than wasting its resources in this manner.

It’s quite insane to throw away half of all food produced. Don’t you agree?
