Paris, France—Halving food waste could cut climate-warming emissions and end undernourishment for 153 million people globally, the OECD and the UN’s food agency said in a joint report Tuesday.
By 2033, the number of calories lost and wasted between produce leaving farms and reaching shops and households could be more than twice the number of calories currently consumed in low-income countries in a year, the report warned. “This target is a highly ambitious upper bound and would require substantial changes by both consumers and producer side,” they added.
UN nations have committed to cutting per capita food waste by 50 percent by 2030 as part of sustainable development goals, but there is no global target for reducing food loss along the production supply chain.
