Food waste is bad – and it will probably get worse
More than a third of fruit and vegetables, equivalent to 2.4 Mt of produce, is lost or wasted between production and sale in the UK, with just four crops - apples, onions, carrots and potatoes – accounting for much of that waste. And it could get worse yet.
