AMMAN, March 5 — More than 900 million tonnes of food is thrown away every year, according to a global report.
The UN Environment Programme’s Food Waste Index revealed that 17 per cent of the food available to consumers – in shops, households and restaurants – goes directly into the bin, according to Petra.
Some 60 per cent of that waste is in the home.
The lockdown appears to have had a surprising impact – at least in the UK – by reducing domestic food waste.
