Food Waste: A Hidden Crisis with Global and Local Impact
The Food Waste Crisis
“Wasting Food, Wasting Resources”
Each year, one-third of all food produced globally is wasted, leading to enormous loss of resources, including water, land, labor, and money. What’s thrown away could feed billions.
A Sustainability Issue
“A Threat to People and the Planet”
Food waste contributes to nearly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In Brunei, food makes up over a third of total household waste, burdening landfills and worsening climate issues.
