World Environment Day

The 5th of June is Word Environment Day.

Today is World Environment Day, set aside by the United Nations Environment Programme with a special focus on global food waste. The UN Food and Agriculture Programme estimates that globally, one third of all food is wasted every year. In developing countries, more than 40% of food waste happens on farms, during storage, and in processing. But in first world countries, about the same amount of food waste occurs in homes and in stores due to greed, over purchase, dislike of food which is close to expiry date, blemished or bruised. We need to make wise choices about what we buy and use to prevent food wastage. 
The UN estimates that 70% of the world’s freshwater resources go in to global food production, which also accounts for 80% of the world’s deforestation.
