IMPACT OF FOOD WASTE
• According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),
every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent
to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed
hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily
from hunger.
• Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant
devastating effects on the environment, this year’s theme –
Think.Eat.Save – encourages us to become more aware of the
environmental impact of the food choices we make and empowers
us to make informed decisions.
• While the planet is struggling to provide us with enough resources
to sustain its 7 billion people estimated to grow to 9 billion by
2050, FAO estimates that a third of global food production is
either wasted or lost.

• This year’s campaign rallies us to take action from our home and
then witness the power of collective decisions you and others
have made to reduce food waste, save money, minimise the
environmental impact of food production and force food
production processes to become more efficient.
• If food is wasted, it means that all the resources and inputs used
in the production of all the food are also lost. For e.g. it takes
about 1000 litres of water to produce 1 litre of milk and about
16,000 litres goes into a cow’s food to make a hamburger. The
resulting greenhouse gas emissions from the cows themselves,
and throughout the food supply chain, all end up in vain when we
waste food.
• The global food production occupies 25% of all habitable land and
is responsible for 70% of fresh water consumption, 80% of
deforestation, and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. It is the largest
single driver of biodiversity loss and land-use change.

REASON FOR 2013 THEME
• The campaign addresses the huge annual wastage and
losses in food, which, if conserved, would release a large
quantity of food as well as reduce the overall carbon
footprint.
• It aims to bring about awareness in countries with
lifestyles resulting in food wastage.
• It also aims to empower people to make informed
choices about the food they eat so as to reduce the
overall ecological impact due to the worldwide
production of food items.
• It promotes awareness on the importance of preserving
our biodiversity, the need to identify problems related to
the environment and ways to take corrective action.

Reduce Your Foodprint
• Each of us must rethink our eating habits to
have an impact throughout the food chain. This
is how we will lay the foundations for greater
sustainability

CONCLUSION
• We have to take corrective measures right from our
home and reduce food wastage, save money, minimise
the environmental impact of food production and force
food production processes to become more efficient.
• As per the experts, every one should select foods that
have less environmental impact, such as organic foods
that do not use chemicals in the production process.
