One-Third Gone: Food Waste Crisis

One-Third Gone: Food Waste Crisis

Food is essential for life, yet one-third of all food produced globally is never consumed. This paradox—abundance amidst hunger—is both a moral and environmental crisis. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), approximately 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted annually. In a world where over 800 million people go hungry, the scale of food waste is both alarming and unacceptable.
