Let's stop food waste together.

The Issue

We need your help to stop food waste. Please take a moment to read these shocking facts and sign the petition. This will hopefully make you start thinking about how much food you waste and what changes can be made, starting with you. Share it with others and make a difference. 

Can you believe approximately 30 percent of food produced for human consumption is wasted across the food supply chain, which equates to 1.3 billion tonnes of food annually? This includes 45 percent of all fruit and vegetables and 20 percent of all meat.This is the problem because many people don’t see food waste as an issue. This inefficiency has enormous economic, environmental, and social outcomes. Food loss and waste cause about $940 billion per year in economic losses. At the same time, 795 million people around the world suffer from severe hunger and starvation. With increasing populations, wasting food is a core challenge for food security.
