According to UNEP report, 50kg of food wasted per person per year in Indian homes.

🔰Report:

• The weight of the global food waste roughly equals India's total production of foodgrain, oilseeds, sugarcane and horticultural produce in 2019-20.

• The report shows that most of this waste globally comes from households, followed by food services and retail outlets.

🔰Summary:

• Per capita food wastage is much higher in west Asian and sub-Saharan African countries compared to South Asian and most of the European and North American countries, challenging earlier narratives of higher consumer food waste in developed countries, and food production, storage and transportation losses in developing countries.

• FAO estimates that 690 million people were hungry in 2019, the food waste index report said the number was expected to rise sharply during and post-Covid-19.• Many people die of hunger every year across the globe and yet 931 million tonnes of food was wasted the world over in 2019.
