                                According to a 2019 study, 27% of China's total food production is lost or wasted annually, amounting to a staggering 349 million tons. This colossal scale of waste, the largest in the world by total volume, is driven by a complex interplay of cultural, economic, and systemic factors across the food supply chain, from farm to table.
