Tag: Household food waste

According to the UN Environment Programme, a staggering 1.05 billion tonnes of food waste was generated in 2022, equating to 132 kilograms of food waste per capita. This brings to light the critical question of how much food does a human waste per year and the significant implications for our planet and society.

Over 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted annually in Australia, with households being the largest contributor. Understanding what are the main causes of food waste in Australia is the first step towards creating a more sustainable and economically sound food system for everyone.
