Reduce food waste
Wasting food is worse than total emissions from flying (1.9%), plastic production (3.8%) and oil extraction (3.8%).
One third of all food produced is lost or wasted –around 1.3 billion tonnes of food –costing the global economy close to $940 billion each year.
In Australia, we waste 7.6 million tonnes of food each year, 70% of this is perfectly edible.
Majority of food waste in Australia comes from our homes (2.5 million tonnes).
The number one reason households in Australia struggle to put food on the table is the cost of living.
