Rome/Nairobi, 11 September 2013-- The report "Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources" is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity. And beyond its environmental impacts, the direct economic consequences to producers of food wastage per year (excluding fish and seafood) are of $750 billion. The waste of 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself.
