Stop food waste day

24 MARCH 2024

Started in 2017 by Compass Group USA, Stop Food Waste Day is now recognised globally in every corner of the world as we unite to educate, inspire, and ignite change.

Our mission is to ignite change regarding the global food waste problem. We do this by drawing attention to the issues, at the same time educating through engaging with society at all levels and sharing practical, creative, and impactful ways we can all change our behaviour to reduce food waste.

We recognise that food waste is not only a moral issue, but a key contributor to climate change too. Wasting food is a waste of the energy to grow, harvest, process and cook and food waste in landfill can cause methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.

Throwing out food is not only a waste of produce and your money. It's actually harmful to the environment. That's because when food breaks down, it creates methane gas.

share more, waste less:

Did you know that one third of food produced globally is wasted and half of that happens in the home.
