Sustainable food consumption 4-Food waste in supermarkets

All around the world, an average of 40% of garbage wastes are filled with food. Australians waste over 400 million tonnes of food each year, equivalent to over 178 Kg per person.

When you throw out food you are not only wasting the food, you are wasting the resources required to make it, including all elements of production, processing, storage, shipping and refrigeration.
