Driven to Waste: Global Food Loss on Farms, a new report from WWF and Tesco.


Driven to Waste: Global Food Loss on Farms, a new report from WWF and Tesco, According to a report by WWF and Tesco, an estimated 2.5 billion tonnes of food is wasted annually worldwide, a significant increase from the previous estimate of 1.3 billion tonnes. The report highlights that approximately 40% of all food produced goes uneaten, surpassing the earlier estimated figure of 33%. The focus of the report is on food losses occurring on farms during harvests, slaughter, and afterwards. The data reveals the need to address food loss and waste throughout the entire supply chain, emphasizing the importance of reducing waste at all stages, not just in retail and consumption. Additionally, wasted food has a substantial impact on climate change, accounting for about 10% of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to the emissions produced by all cars driven in the US and Europe in a year. The production of this wasted food also utilizes vast amounts of land and water resources, equivalent to a landmass larger than the Indian subcontinent and a water volume equal to 304 million Olympic swimming pools.

Hey there! We're a bunch of enthusiastic local farmers who are crazy about sustainable farming. We love sharing the wonders of our awesome farming community and backyard-style growing right here in our tri-county area—Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Monterey, California. 🌿


Our purpose is to educate about the benefits of a natural real plant-based lifestyle.​

 

We offer videos and articles that tell the story of food self-sufficiency and of its vital importance in our lives. ​
 

We host an amazing 🌾VIRTUAL FARMERS MARKET ðŸŒ±  that takes farm-to-table to a whole new level! Picture this: your family can have their very own personal local farmer supplying delicious and nutritious food!

Why eat food that was grown 1500 miles away when you no longer have to?

Together, we can work toward a healthier and more sustainable future. Join us in making a positive change today. Check out the Videos HERE or visit our VIRTUAL FARMERS MARKET to meet your personal family farmer.

“Urban agriculture isn’t a market. It’s not a trend or an industry. Urban agriculture is a movement. It’s a movement about people. It’s about people wanting to create a more sustainable future for tomorrow.”
