Food Waste in a Food Insecure World

One third of all food produced worldwide is wasted, amounting to 1.3 billion tons per year, according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization. While hundreds of millions go hungry across the world, governments struggle to prioritize sustainable food production and consumption.
