Every day, more than one billion meals are wasted worldwide, even as millions of people face hunger. Food waste strains waste-management systems, contributes to climate change, squanders land and water resources, and undermines efforts to build more resilient and equitable food systems.
20 September is World Cleanup Day. This year’s global observance focuses on food waste, one of the largest and most preventable waste streams affecting cities and communities worldwide.
