The world produces four billion tons of food – half of this amount ends as garbage

This means wasting the wasting of the natural energy sources – shows the report of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
The experts point out that 550 billion cubic meters of water is used in agriculture to produce crops, which were then never be consumed. Until 2050, the water needed to produce food demand could reach 10 to 13 trillion cubic meters.
