According to a survey by the Climate Policy Institute, in developed countries, 105 kilograms of food waste is produced per person per year, compared to 8 kilograms in Africa and Asia.
The production of discarded food requires 1.4 billion hectares of land, which is almost 30 percent of the Earth's agricultural area.
According to the Climate Policy Institute, waste can be generated at any stage of the food supply chain, but the amount of household waste exceeds the amount of waste produced by the food industry.
It was noted about Hungary that, according to estimates, 1.8 million tons of food is thrown away in the country every year, a third of which is generated in households.
The 2016 and 2019 food waste surveys of the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) were recalled 48.8 percent of the food thrown away could have been avoided.
