Recently,
the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) published the report Food Wasted 2021 . UNEP draws attention to the social and economic consequences of the amount of food that is being wasted, but, above all, it focuses on raising awareness of the environmental consequences. According to UNEP
between 8% and 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are associated with food that is not consumed .
It is estimated that,
annually, 931 million tons are wasted at the domestic and industrial level, of this, 570 million are exclusively household waste. This is approximately 23 million trucks of 40 tons of food wasted.

Every Indian Wastes 50 Kgs Of Food A year, Says UNEP
Apart from households, retail and food services account for a huge chunk of this annual waste of food, says the Food Waste Index Report 2021

According to the Food Waste Index Report 2021 published by the United Nations Environment Project (UNEP), nearly one third of the total quantity of produced food each year is wasted during the various steps of the food supply system, making it a leading concern for all nations, across income ranges.
