According to the Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO),  the importance of reducing food loss and waste becomes evident when we look at how much food is wasted in people's daily lives. In Latin America, it is estimated that around 15% of the food available in homes, stores and supermarkets, as well as in greengrocers and other places, is discarded as garbage.

The world faces an exponential increase in hunger due to the climate crisis if global actions are not urgently taken to help communities adapt to climate shocks and stresses, warned the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) ahead of World Food Day.
