🚮 #FoodWaste accounts for 8% of greenhouse gas emissions produced by humankind, making it comparable to road transport pollution. ⚠️ One-third of globally produced food is wasted, translating into 1.3 billion tonnes of wasted resources per year. Most food waste occurs primarily in the retail sector and food services (including bars, supermarkets, events, and mass-catering establishments). The retail sector alone generates 13% of global food waste, making retailers key partners in mitigating food waste, particularly in Western economies. 💡 Find out more about the current food waste externalities, how to internalise them with retailers and read about the recommendations on what areas should be targeted to combat food waste for further research funding. 📑 https://lnkd.in/eVjQFhkD ✍ Get in touch with Chiara Antonelli at cantonelli@ieep.eu to continue the conversation and to discover possible collaborations. #ZeroWasteDay #BeatWastePollution. ℹ️ Find out more about #ESAD ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eiXiYZbU
