Dear wendy,

There is a problem with food. A BIG one.

Every year an estimated 2.5 billion tonnes of food goes to waste - more than half of this before it even reaches the shops.

This mountain of food waste - the majority of which is fresh, edible food when it gets chucked - contributes around 10% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

The climate science is very clear that if we don’t tackle food, we can’t meet important climate goals to stabilise the planet
