The rising cost of living is making it harder for people, especially those on lower incomes (who often have poorer diets), to afford to eat healthily. Despite this, households in the UK continue to waste a shocking amount of food — including around 68kg of fruit and vegetables each year.
Food waste is not only damaging to your pocket, it's also bad for the environment too. Globally, 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted every year, generating about 8% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions arise from unused food at all stages of the food supply chain, from production to decomposition.
