Food loss and waste span the entire food supply chain, from production to consumption. The magnitude of food loss and waste is staggering. Annually, an estimated 1.6 billion tons of food, valued at approximately USD 1.2 trillion, are either lost or wasted globally, representing one-third of the total food produced on a global scale, according to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). This issue is not stagnant; rather, it's expanding. Forecasts by BCG suggest that by 2030, the annual amount of food loss and waste will increase to 2.1 billion tons, with an estimated value of USD 1.5 trillion.
