Humans grow and waste food at a staggering scale.
We devote half the earth’s habitable land to food production, while ultimately tossing one-third of that food.
Simply using the food we grow and buy keeps planet-warming gases out of the atmosphere, leading to climate benefits we could feel in our lifetime.

One story, “The other greenhouse gas” breaks down the science behind this argument. The other helps readers and organizations understand the many avenues for food waste reduction.
