@fao.orgWhen we don't waste food we aren't just saving it from the bin.
Reducing your #foodwaste has so many more benefits 👇
@peerivo.bsky.socialIn 2022 the world wasted 1.05B tonnes of food—about 19% of food available to consumers. Households produced 60% of that waste. The real opportunity starts before disposal: prevent waste, redistribute edible surplus, then recover value. Source: UNEP. #FoodWaste
@fao.orgWhat do 1.4 billion hectares look like? Nearly 2 billion football fields.
That's the total area used to grow food that's never eaten!
Each one of us must act now to cut #FoodLoss and #FoodWaste.

When we waste food, we're also wasting the resources used to produce that food.
Reducing #FoodLoss & #FoodWaste means protecting the health of our one & only planet.
@springhousetech.bsky.socialThe average household wastes roughly 30 percent of the food it buys. The problem is rarely too few recipes. It is too little visibility. #FoodWaste

@oddlytruejp.bsky.social🍱 Japan gave the world "mottainai" — then refuses to box your leftovers.
Only 10.8% of diners took food home last year. 6.7% were refused.
Ordering a meal is a contract to eat it there. Get sick later and the restaurant wears it.

@fao.orgDid you know? Around 13% of the world's food is lost after harvest, before it ever reaches the stores.
🎥 See how reducing #FoodLoss and #FoodWaste puts more food on more plates.
@planttreaty.bsky.socialWhen food is lost or wasted, the land, labour, water, energy and crop diversity used to produce it are lost too.
Ahead of #FLWDay, the International Plant Treaty joins @fao.org and @unep.org in calling for action to reduce #FoodLoss and #FoodWaste and build more sustainable, resilient food systems.
