Food waste — an invisible problem
Tons of food are produced every day. But a large part of it is never consumed. This is not just an economic loss — it is a waste of resources, labor, and opportunities.
What is happening globally?
Almost half of the food produced is wasted
Global economic loss every year
Food thrown away annually
This is a global problem. And it happens every day, everywhere.
Why does it matter?
Environment
Wasted food means excess CO₂ emissions, waste of land, water, and energy resources.
Economy
Businesses suffer losses from unsold goods. This leads to billions in losses.
Society
Food is arbitrarily thrown away on one side, while people struggle to buy it on the other.
What is the situation in Uzbekistan?
Food waste is also one of the significant problems in Uzbekistan.
A large part of total waste is food
Unsold products are lost every day in restaurants and stores
Difficulty in accurately forecasting demand leads to overproduction
Often, these products are destroyed even if they are still fit for consumption.
Where does waste happen?
Waste happens along the entire chain.
Production
In production — overproduction
Store
In stores — unsold products
Restaurant
In restaurants — leftover food at the end of the day
Home
At home — poor planning
