“Around one-third of all the food produced in the world is lost or wasted every year,” FAO Director General Jose Graziano da Silva said. He added that this amount was enough to feed 500 million people without putting any additional pressure on natural resources.
A recent report commissioned by the FAO found that “every year, consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food (222 million tons) as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa (230 million tons).”
