✨ Aligns with efforts to transform agri-food systems for resilience and sustainability.

📊 Key Facts

✨ 931 million tonnes of food are wasted annually.
✨ Reducing food loss could feed millions while cutting emissions.
✨ Up to 14% of food is lost between harvest and retail.

🎉 How to Observe

✅ Support Initiatives: Donate excess food to food banks and community kitchens.
✅ Educate Others: Use #StopFoodWasteDay or #FLWDay to share awareness tips.
✅ Create Art: Illustrate mindful eating, farm-to-table stories, and zero-waste kitchens.

💡 Why It Matters

✅ Addresses hunger and malnutrition.
✅ Supports climate and environmental sustainability.
✅ Encourages conscious consumption habits.

“If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.” – FAO
