Food carries traditions, recipes, memories and knowledge passed from one generation to the next.

But climate change is threatening many of the crops, ingredients & food traditions that are part of 🌎 cultures.

#StopFoodLossWaste also means valuing the people, places & traditions behind it.

Food waste fuels methane emissions.
When food ends up in landfills, it breaks down and releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that drives global warming.

#StopFoodLossWaste can help cut methane emissions while saving food, money and valuable resources.

Almost 90% of global deforestation is driven by agricultural expansion. Yet 28% of the world's agricultural land is used to grow food that is ultimately never eaten.

We must act now to #StopFoodLossWaste.

Food is meant to be eaten, not wasted.

Yet every day, huge amounts of perfectly good food are thrown away, along with the water, land, energy and work that went into producing it.

This #FLWDay and every day, the message is simple: food is too valuable to waste.

It's time to #StopFoodLossWaste.
