Food Waste Is a Policy Choice
Here is a pair of facts that should be placed next to each other more often than they are.
Fact one: approximately one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted. In wealthy countries, the majority of this waste occurs at the retail and consumer level – food that was perfectly edible, thrown away because it was not purchased in time, or because it did not meet cosmetic standards, or because the household that bought it did not eat it before it expired.
