Food waste is an extremely prevalent problem across the world, and with this in mind, the team at Utility Bidder have used data from the Food Waste Index Report 2024 to study the countries with the highest (& lowest) food waste ratings in the world. You can view the full research here: https://www.utilitybidder.co. uk/blog/carbon-food-print/ Top 10 countries with the largest amount of food waste in the world Rank Country Estimated Household Food waste (average kg per capita) Total Household Waste (kg) 1 Bulgaria 26 176,280,000 2 Russia 33 4,829,772,000 3 Slovenia 36 76,320,000 4 Ireland 48 240,960,000 5 Croatia 53 213,590,000 5 Finland 53 293,620,000 7 Netherlands 59 1,036,040,000 8 Japan 60 7,398,006,000 8 Poland 60 2,391,600,000 10 Estonia 61 81,130,000 10 France 61 3,942,430,000 10 New Zealand 61 316,590,000 10 Spain 61 2,895,272,000 Bulgaria produces the least food waste per capita at just 26kg of food waste per capita. When you compare this to the population of 4.7 million, Bulgarians produce 176.28 million kg of food waste. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, Portugal produces the most food waste per capita, with 124kg wasted per person. With a population of 10.41 million, Portugal is estimated to produce roughly 1.27 billion kg of food waste annually. Further findings from the study: Beef production has the most significant impact on the environment of any food type, as almost 100kg of CO2eq is produced for every kg of beef produced. The average cow has around 250kg of beef, and as a result, each beef cow produces almost 25,000kg of CO2eq. Given that six of the top ten food products with the most significant emissions fit into this category, it is unsurprising that meat and fish as a food group produces the most average emissions. On average, products in this category produce 22.64kg of CO2eq, over 20kg more than any other food type. Farming is the stage of production that causes the most emissions. Across all the food types, 172.59 kg of CO2eq per kg is produced from this production stage. Meanwhile, just 4.00 kg of CO2eq is produced at the retail stage. James Longley, Managing Director at Utility Bidder has provided the following comment: "From production to the plate, getting food to the table is by no means an easy feat, especially when it comes to accommodating climate-conscious objectives. There are several hidden environmental costs of food processes, and some are seemingly more detrimental than others. "At Utility Bidder, we compare business gas prices, along with energy and electricity, and whilst we want our customers to get the best deals, we also want to champion environmental practices for businesses to save on emissions - so how much do you consider the impact of the carbon 'food' print? "The journey of food from production to the plate is a long one; even before food produce leaves the farm, emissions from the farm, land use, and animal feed account for 269.17kg of CO2eq per kg produced. These three aforementioned practices make up three of the top four most costly production processes for emissions; wedged in between is the emissions from last produce which further proves that there are environmental repercussions before and after production. "We've also split our research down further to profile the food types and groups you all know and that some of you will love. Beef ranks number one as the top food type producing the most emissions. The average cow has around 250kg of beef, and as a result, each beef cow produces almost 25,000kg of CO2eq. "Perhaps unsurprisingly given this statistic, meat and fish ranks as the overall food group producing the most average emissions. Beef and Lamb are the most significant contributors, but shrimp, fish, pork meat and poultry all produce a considerably large amount of carbon emissions."

New Zealand's food waste remains high despite a cost-of-living crisis. A Rabobank-KiwiHarvest survey estimates that $3.2 billion of food goes in the bin annually. Households waste 12.2% of groceries yearly, a slight decrease from last year's 13.4%. Sustainable Business Development Head, Blake Holgate, told Mike Hosking that as food becomes more expensive, the value of what is thrown out increases. He said that despite the reduction in waste, in terms of total value food waste has actually increased. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clarke launched Olio, which lets people list surplus food and second-hand goods, in 2015. It has since attracted over 6.9 million users who have given away over 95 million portions of food. Listings on the circular economy app grew fivefold during the pandemic and the company has expanded beyond the UK to 63 countries. Olio, which has raised more than $50m in funding, has entered partnerships with businesses including Tesco and Pret. It has plans to rebrand later this year.
Food waste is one of Singapore's biggest waste streams, accounting for 12 percent of the total waste generated. This is a growing concern because when food is wasted, more food has to be sourced to meet the food demand with Singapore importing over 90 percent of its food supply. So how can tech possibly do its part on this front? Qi Ni Lee, Corporate Responsibility & Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Lead for Malaysia & Singapore, Sodexo shares her thoughts on this.

Preston Wong: "The goal should always be to make the message of sustainability and reducing food wastage as mainstream as possible. What point is there if it is just within that echo chamber of eco-conscious people? For us, we can break that barrier because price is not a big issue unlike other sustainable merchandise that may face challenges of accessibility due to price point issues. I would think that surplus food is a good bridge and show people that things can be affordable, and yet can be good stuff if you look beyond the exterior and short-dated condition of the item."Preston Wong, CEO and lead innovator at Treatsure, shares about how his business tackles the problem of food waste, plus: *Reducing wastage from buffet lines* *The difficulties that buffet restaurants and hotels face in estimating the amount of food to prepare* *Grocery wastage* *Collaborations between partners and artisans to convert waste to new products* *Building a community* *The importance of education* *What keeps him going* *Using technology to reducing waste* *Why develop an app*Singapore Noodles: http://sgpnoodles.com/ @sgpnoodlesNewsletter: http://sgpnoodles.substack.com/

Roti Bank Foundation is a non-profit, tech-driven food rescue organization currently operating in 23 cities. One of the founding team members of the organization – Shriya Kumar, has developed the ‘Roti Bank Foundation' application, which is now helping immensely in identifying hunger pockets and diverting surplus food to where there is none. Shriya Kumar – an investment banker, is a visionary towards adapting technology for solving India's hunger problem. Her idea of mapping hunger pockets across the country for large-scale operations led to the app's innovation. The app uses artificial intelligence to find out the hunger pockets. The app assesses the map of a city, and based on the publically available demographic data such as population density, proximity to luxurious services, and the propensity of a particular area to spend, it gauges the level of income and creates a virtual hunger map. Roti Bank looks forward to creating well-fed communities throughout the various nooks and corners of India. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gmbwithkay/message

Choosing when to harvest as well as storage poses big problems for African farmers. The United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that around a third of food is wasted globally every year. In Africa, that number can be as high as 50%. This is of major concern given the continent’s population increase. The problem begins the minute farmers have harvested. This is because choosing when to harvest, as well as storage, are big problems. In this week’s edition of Pasha, Jane Ambuko, a senior lecturer and head of horticulture at the University of Nairobi, takes us deeper into the issue of post harvest losses and why they’re such a big issue.

Just 2 stories about food wastage in my childhood. Enjoy!
We are back and chatting with Georgia Lienemann who featured in episode 108, where we spoke about reducing food waste by consuming all of the parts that make up an animal, including brains, hearts and livers! While we candidly admit that we haven't yet implemented offal into our diet, the idea is well and truly etched in our minds. This episode will certainly add a few more ideas to your memory banks, where again we are hearing some incredible tips on how to reduce household food waste. It's a bit of a crime to be throwing away so many food items, where you can truly reap in all the health benefits of many of their offcuts, and save the environment at the same time. With this awareness, each and every one of us can very easily play our part in cutting down on overall food wastage. Remember, any mind-set that you adapt about reducing your food wastage is passed down to your children and that's a powerful thing. If we don't raise our children to be a little conservative, they would grow up with the mind-set of being able to waste things, just because they can!

In this episode, we talk about all the ways you can reduce food wastage in your own home. According to AusHarvest, the government estimates that food wastage in Australia costs the economy a whopping $20 billion annually! There's over five million tonnes of food that ends up as landfill, from households and the commercial sector. These figures become a little close to the heart, when it's also revealed that 35% of the average household bin is full of food wastage. For this reason, it's time to play your part in reducing this wastage, and in turn saving yourself a lot of money. With a bit of meal planning, you'll notice that you will no longer have those items that sit in the cupboard until after their use by date.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
By Sharon See
You might have missed it but late 2015 Australia saw unprecedented large-scale mangrove die-back in the Gulf of Carpenteria. This week we hear from Professor Damien Burrows from James Cook University about the mangrove die back event; what caused it and what we know about it. Also, a new report produced by the Foodprint Melbourne Project estimates that Melbournians generate over 200kg of food waste per year. Claire looks at some of the ways local governments are making changes, and how we can all try to keep our food waste to a minimum including using apps like cloudfreezer!And Manisha takes a look at iron. Why do we need and what happens if we don't have enough of it.
