Globally, a third of all available food, about 1.3 billion tonnes, is wasted every year with Malaysia contributing up to 16, 667 tonnes of food waste daily. This starkly contrasts the reality that 1 in 3 people are still malnourished and one in nine people face chronic hunger worldwide. The implications of food wastage run deeper than throwing out leftovers – natural resources such as water, soil, seeds, that went into its production is also wasted. At a waste management level, food that is thrown away into landfills decompose and release methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.
