Food for thought, Food for waste
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that approximately one thrird of the total food for consumption, amounting to 1.3 billion tons per year, is lost of waste.
In Indonesia, according to estimates on foid production. Indonesia produces nearly 300kg per capita per year, with estimated food consumption at 110 kg per capita per year and food waste amounting 315 kg per capita per year. The food waste generated in Indonesia is higher than the amount of food produces, which is likely due to food imports. It is obvious that the amount of food produced is nearly three times higher than food consumed and food waste is even higher.
