We throw away a lot of food in our own homes, supermarkets throw surplus food away, and quite a lot of produce is deemed not ‘good enough’ to be sold to consumers. This is changing… slowly. Many UK supermarkets are now selling ‘wonky veg’, vegetables that, in the past, were not aesthetically pleasing enough to sell! Here are some crazy statistics from the Stop Food Waste Day website. 33% of all food produced globally and 45% of root crops, fruit and vegetables produced globally is lost or wasted per year. 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions each year are due to food loss and waste. 25% of the food wasted around the world could feed all of the 795 million undernourished people in the world.
