Food waste has been a global issue for some time.
Each year, about one third of food produced for consumption-approximately 1,3 billion tonnes-gets wasted on an annual basis.
40-50% of disposed food waste is derived from root crops, fruits and vegetables.
It takes the form of peels, seeds, stones, unused flesh, discarded stalks, leaves and roots, either left over from the food processing stage or generated during the crop planting season. Much of it ends up on landfills or gets discharged into the environment.
