The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) discovered that 1/3 of all made food is wasted each year adding up to about 1.3 billion tons of food that was edible. Ishangulyyev, R., Kim, S., & Lee, S. H. (2019). Understanding Food Loss and Waste-Why Are We Losing and Wasting Food?. Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 8(8), 297. https://doi.org/10.3390/foods8080297

Food waste from production to land use changes adds to the world wide carbon footprint with the amount between 2000 to 3600 kg CO2-eq. The focus should be on prevention from within households as each generation are massively increasing their food waste.
