#foodwaste #uk @Theindependent.lk 4.3 million tonnes of surplus food is produced each year – 0.4 million from retail and 3.9 million from manufacturing. Only 2 per cent of that goes to charities to feed the hungry. Around 3.7 million tonnes of this is destroyed in landfill, landspreading, thermal treatment or other destinations. 400,000 tonnes of surplus food could be fit for human consumption, according to FareShare - mostly fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy.
