About food and climate
A third of all food is thrown away in Sweden. In 2020, 0.9 million tonnes of solid food was thrown away in Sweden. This corresponds to 88 kg per person, of which 61 kg occurs in households. For households, food and drink to sewers has also been estimated at an additional 190,000 tonnes, which corresponds to 18 kg per person per year.
According to the UN, 931 million tons, or 17 percent, of all food available to consumers, either in homes, restaurants or shops, ends up in the garbage. This corresponds to 23 million fully loaded 40-tonne trucks every year. We live in a climate crisis where we have to economize on resources. What can you do to reduce food waste?
