Climate change has already impacted the way we live, how we do business, and more. Fighting it is an existential imperative – and investing in food waste reduction solutions is a core approach for doing so.
Growing, cooling, processing, transporting, storing, cooking, and ultimately disposing of food all have an enormous GHG footprint, regardless of whether the food is actually eaten. Wasted food is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) – in fact, the amount of GHG emissions caused by food loss and waste ranks just behind the amount that comes from China and the United States, the two top GHG-emitting countries in the world.
