“In a world <strong>of</strong> seven billion people, set to grow to nine billion<br />

by 2050, wasting food makes no sense – economically,<br />

environmentally <strong>and</strong> ethically, aside from <strong>the</strong> cost<br />

implications, all <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong>, water, fertilizers <strong>and</strong> labour<br />

needed to grow that food is wasted – not to mention <strong>the</strong><br />

generation <strong>of</strong> greenhouse gas emissions produced by food<br />

decomposing on l<strong>and</strong>fill <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> transport <strong>of</strong> food that is<br />

ultimately thrown away.”<br />

Achim Steiner
