This document discusses food waste and sustainable development. It summarizes that approximately 1 billion tons of food is wasted each year, with 61% coming from households and 26% from food service. Reducing food waste can help address food insecurity, climate change, and other issues. The UN aims to halve food waste by 2030 under SDG 12.3. The Food Waste Index estimates that 1 billion tons of food is wasted annually at retail and consumer levels, costing nearly $1 trillion and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Collecting better food waste data can help track progress and guide strategies to reduce waste.
