* Up to 10% of global greenhouse gases comes from food that is produced, but not eaten (Source: United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) (2021). Food Waste Index Report 2021)

* Wasting food is worse than total emissions from flying (1.9%), plastic production (3.8%) and oil extraction (3.8%) (Source: WRI: World GHG Emissions 2016 & https://www.nature.com/article)

* Food rotting in landfill releases methane – 28x stronger than carbon dioxide. (Source: IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land)
