There’s no time to waste – especially when it comes to wasting food.
It’s difficult to fathom the numbers: According to the UN, an estimated third of all food produced – about 1.3 billion tonnes – is wasted or lost each year. About 14% of food globally and as much as 40% in some markets spoils before it even reaches the retailers.
The reality is there are no easy answers to this growing crisis. Awareness and action are keys to making the messaging a success. “At a time when food costs are higher than ever, Canadians are seeking more ways to use up items in their fridges and pantries or make those products last longer,” said Craig Hodge, chair of the National Zero Waste Council, in a recent media release. “We are excited to join forces with organizations around the world…because every victory — big or small — adds up.”
And – all types of foods re being wasted, the most common being fruits and vegetables, followed by cooked leftovers, breads, baked goods, dairy and eggs.
