food is wasted every year.
This quantity of food is enough to feed 3 billion people

area is used to grow food crops that are
ultimately never consumed.
That is the combined area of the United States, India, and Egypt.

4. 25% of the world’s fresh water
supply is wasted to grow food crops that
are ultimately never consumed.
Just imagine, if we could save this water, it
could be used by 9 billion people!

greenhouse gas emissions produced
annually is from food loss and waste.

61% food wasted in North America
