Approximately a third of the world’s food is wasted every year (U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization).
When the pandemic hit, food security became a concern for many people and they began wasting less food. Whether it was through meal planning, shopping less, checking the cupboards for ingredients or using leftovers, they found a better way to use food.
That’s good news for the environment, since food waste is responsible for around 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
