British media say food waste in the UK and around the world is staggering.
people often look at their habits to improve their lifestyle as Christmas and New Year celebrations come to an end, the Daily Telegraph reported on January 2.
when it comes to grooming after holiday celebrations, one data may be particularly worth thinking about: about a third of the food produced for human consumption worldwide each year is lost or wasted.
food wasted is about 1.3 billion tons, or more than half of the world's annual food production, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
same time, 795 million people worldwide suffered from chronic malnutrition in 2014-2016.
estimated that food losses and waste in industrialized countries around the world amounted to $680 billion, while losses and waste in developing countries amounted to $310 billion. Unsurprisingly, Western countries have the highest proportion of food waste, while developing countries are more likely to lose food.
year, consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food as sub-Saharan Africa, at 222 million tons. In Europe and North America, the per capita waste per year is 95-115 kg.
that the food production cycle includes many different stages, which means that there are many ways to lose and waste food. In North America, Europe and Oceania, food is more likely to be wasted during the consumption phase. In developing countries in Asia and Africa, food is wasted more after harvest and in the processing stages because of inadequate infrastructure or poor equipment.
