In 2022, global food waste reached 1.05 billion tonnes, including inedible parts, averaging 132 kilograms per capita and representing nearly 20% of all available food for consumers. Households accounted for 60% of this waste, followed by food services at 28% and retail at 12%.<\/p>\n<p>These figures exclude an additional 13% of the world\u2019s food lost within the supply chain, as estimated by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), which occurs between harvest and market. UNEP\u2019s executive director Inger Andersen said: \u201cFood waste is a global tragedy. Millions will go hungry today as food is wasted across the world. According to the UNEP, food loss and waste generates 8-10%of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions \u2013 almost five times the total emissions from the aviation sector. Additionally, it contributes to biodiversity loss, occupying an area equivalent to nearly one-third of the world\u2019s agricultural land.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, only four G20 countries (Australia, Japan, UK, US) and the EU possess food waste estimates suitable for tracking progress to 2030. Canada and Saudi Arabia have suitable household estimates, while Brazil\u2019s estimate is anticipated in late 2024. Additionally, the report highlights that food waste is not solely a concern of affluent nations, with household food waste levels varying only by seven kilograms per capita across high-income, upper-middle and lower-middle-income countries. Moreover, hotter climates seem to produce more household food waste per capita, possibly due to increased consumption of fresh foods and inadequate cold chain systems.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/food-waste-inflicts-1trn-economic-loss-on-global-scale-un-report-warns\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-502\/\">Food waste inflicts $1trn economic loss on global scale, UN report warns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1589,402],"class_list":["post-129301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-waste","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129301\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
