The statistics on food waste are staggering. According to this recent article by BBC Earth around 1.3bn tonnes of food gets wasted globally each year – accounting for one third of all food produced.
This number is shocking enough but it leaves a particularly bad taste in the mouth once you find out that between 720m and 811m people in the world faced hunger in 2020 – not to mention the impact of food waste on climate change, as this article by the WWF explains.
The good news is individuals and corporations alike are beginning to wake up to this problem. This is where food waste apps come in with two of the biggest players being Too Good To Go and Olio.
