According to a study by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), about thirty percent of all our food is wasted. That comes down to a worldwide wastage of 1.3 billion tons of food a year. The Dutch consumer throws away around 47 kilos of food on an annual basis, which translates into an amount of 2.5 billion euros. However, food waste is not just about the loss of money; in the process of packaging, transporting, cooling and preparing the food, a great deal of effort is spoiled as well. The wastage affects everyone, from farmer to consumer. It is for this reason that food waste is an issue within the entire food chain. We believe that the best way to deal with the problem is to join forces with all the involved parties, and combine that with a creative entrepreneurial mindset.
