I am sure we can find more accurate statistics from all data sources available (usda, EPA, fda, feedingamerica, rts, eatpallet, etc...). but the fact we all should be very much concerned about is the amount of food wasted at retail stores, restaurants and homes. At least 40% of the food we buy is ending up in trash and garbage. And while there are multiple solutions and methods being explored and implemented to reduce it , it is not close to scratching the surface of the food wastage.
