Food waste is a global problem. 30 percent of the food globally is lost or wasted. Seeing the huge number of hungry people in the world, this is a clear social injustice
Furthermore, food waste is an enormous source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions thus having a negative environmental impact.
The loss of an estimated 2.5 billion tons of lost or wasted food each year also comes with a financial impact. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimated that the food lost during production is worth 230 billion USD.
