Food wastage is a serious problem that affects economies, food security, and the environment, both in Nigeria and globally.

Food waste or loss simply refers to food that is not consumed. According to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), around 13% of food produced is lost between harvest and retail, while another 19% is wasted at the retail and consumer levels globally.

This negatively impacts the use of vital resources like water, energy, climate change, biodiversity, and land. Thus, reducing food waste is not merely to save meals but essential to building a more sustainable planet.
