Published: 25 Nov 2021

This wasted food has taken loads of fresh water, land and labour to produce.
If it were a country, food waste would be the third highest emitter of greenhouse gases [PDF] in the world.
Thankfully, food waste collection has improved in recent years in Wales but there is still a lot of room for improvement and we all need to play our part.
