Global quantitative food losses and waste for each commodity group per year

Slide Content

The slide presents information about global food losses and waste divided into two categories - MEAT and FISH AND SEAFOOD. It reveals that 20% of the 263 million tons of meat produced globally is lost or wasted. For fish and seafood, 35% is lost, mainly due to the fishes being thrown back into the sea, often dead or damaged. The slide also details the broader impact of food loss and waste on the squandering of resources like land, water, money, and labor. Each resource is explained with an icon representing land usage, water wastage, financial costs, and labor exploitation.
