Food Wastage Around the World [Infographic] - Arbtech We’re all guilty of wasting a bit of food now and again, whether that’s through cooking too much or not eating something before the best before date. However, it’s a much bigger problem than that, and globally there is around 1-1.2 billion tonnes of food wasted every year. Just imagine what could be done with all that wasted food. And it’s not just the wasted food itself that’s a problem. This infographic looks at all these points, showing how much of a global issue food wastage is, as well as how we can do our bit at home to reduce the amount of food that goes to waste. We hope that you find this infographic interesting. Did you realise how big an issue food wastage is? Sources FAO. 2011. Transcript Food wastage around the world From farms, to supermarkets to forks – a massive proportion of food produced around the world goes uneaten.
We must take back control of our food, before it's too late | Matthew Herbert We are living through a delicious disaster. Never has so much food been offered to us from so many parts of the world, and in such elaborate combinations. The average supermarket carries over 45,000 different product lines, and yet the provenance of most of these products are utterly opaque. The government has handed control of the food chain over to the supermarkets – and with it, any meaningful sense of the common good. Take fish. The government tells shops to hide cigarettes behind the tills, but allows them to set up mazes of crisps, chocolate and sweets that we are forced to walk through to get to the till. Responsibility is constantly deferred downwards to us as though the food system is a benign force simply there to offer us choice and let us get on with it. To add insult to injury, according to Tristram Stuart's book Waste, UK households waste 25% of all food they buy.

Officials told Gulf News that a liquid food composter (LFC) manufactured by a private company works like the stomach and uses certain enzymes and bacteria to recycle food waste with a little bit of water in a process similar to digestion and turns it into grey water. The machine does not produce any foul smell of the waste and helps in reducing CO2 emission, officials said. Maha Suwekeet Al Hajri, food and environment laboratory section manager, said the lab under Dubai Municipality opted for using the machine LFC after successfully completing a six-month trial period facilitated by the company Power Knot. In those six months, the machine recycled more than 3,000kg of food waste and reduced nearly 13 tonnes of carbon footprint. Al Hajri said the lab receives 200-300 food samples daily and about 4,000 samples per month.
Over-consumption, climate change threaten food security, water supply: FAO Global food - Waste not, want not | Institution of Mechanical Engineers Feeding the 9 Billion: The tragedy of waste By 2075, the United Nations’ mid-range projection for global population growth predicts that human numbers will peak at about 9.5 billion people. This means that there could be an extra three billion mouths to feed by the end of the century, a period in which substantial changes are anticipated in the wealth, calorific intake and dietary preferences of people in developing countries across the world. Such a projection presents mankind with wide-ranging social, economic, environmental and political issues that need to be addressed today to ensure a sustainable future for all. One key issue is how to produce more food in a world of finite resources. Today, we produce about four billion metric tonnes of food per annum.
