”Global food systems are not meeting all the needs of people and planet. Currently, more than two billion people globally are overweight or obese, more than 600 million people fall ill due to unsafe food each year and one in nine people in the world are undernourished. In parallel to issues around malnutrition and safety, one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted.”
