Why food waste is a climate story

Discarded food carries the hidden emissions of production and can release methane after disposal.

The invisible journey

The climate cost of wasted food begins long before it reaches a rubbish bin. Farming, cooling, transport and cooking all use land, water and energy. When organic waste decomposes without oxygen, it can produce methane, a powerful short-lived greenhouse gas.

Prevention before recycling

Composting can improve waste management, but avoiding unnecessary waste preserves more of the original resources. Retailers can improve storage and labels, while households can plan portions and use leftovers. The most effective solutions connect individual habits with better systems across the supply chain.
