The Independent: "Shocking food waste"


Link to web site

"A report released this week by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Waste Not, Want Not has found that as much as half of all food produced in the world is never eaten, but thrown away.

"This is a shocking statistic, particularly in light of the fact that there are 925 million people still hungry in the world. Globally, we produce around four billion tonnes of food per year, but half of this is discarded.

"In Europe, it is estimated that we bin half of the food that we buy, a habit that contributes greatly to the overall statistic."
