The Food Bank saved almost five thousand tons of food this year
Up to now, with the help of its food industry partners, the Food Bank saved about five thousand tons of food and delivered them to 250,000 people in need.
The organization’s Wednesday announcement notes that 1.3 billion tons of food per year are wasted in the world, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) survey. In Europe 42 percent of the food waste is produced by households, 39 percent are by factories and only 14 percent by restaurants. As almost a billion people in the world are under-nutritionated and hungry, the main purpose of Foodbank is to reduce food waste and fight against hunger. (MTI)
