When food is wasted, all the resources used to produce it are wasted as well, and the discarded food contributes to harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
Many people either wash produce incorrectly or wash it at the wrong time, which can actually increase spoilage and food waste.
Quantifies food lost by region and category. Links food loss to global hunger and climate change.
Provides statistics on CO₂ emissions per food category Offers practical steps to reduce food waste.

Food waste isn’t just about food. It’s about wasted water, energy, land, transport, and labor — all of which carry a carbon footprint.
According to trusted global studies:
1 kg of food waste = approx. 2.5 kg of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e)

So, when you save 1,000 kg of food with ‘MÄNTÆ’, you also prevent around 2,500 kg (2.5 tons) of greenhouse gases.
