The Story of FoodWhen you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food, but also the resources such as the energy, fuel, time, and water that went into growing, harvesting, storing, transporting, and cooking the food.

The Story of Food

Storing, cooking, washing Uneaten and expired

Facts

• 550 billion cubic meters of water is wasted globally in growing crops that never reach the consumer (1 cubic meter = 1 liter)

• 50% of all the food produced in the world (equivalent to 2bn tons) – ends up as waste every year

• Rotten food produces methane gas

Food wasteAbout 3,200 tons of food waste are disposed of in

landfills each day.This is equivalent to the weight

of 205 double decker buses!

By 2014, one of HK’s landfills will reach maximum capacity

Food Waste

Hong Kong's four supermarket chains throw out 29 tons of food a day – enough to feed 48,000 families.
