1.3 Billion tons of food is wasted globally each year. This translates into 3.3 Billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to 7% of annual global emissions or the total emissions generated by India (the 3rd largest driver of global emissions) in one year. In the United States alone, we waste 60 Million tons of food per year. This amount of wasted food is enough to fill 160 Empire State Buildings!
