PRI Environmental’s Post

Around 25-30% of all the food that is produced worldwide ends up being lost or put into landfills. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this food loss is responsible for about 8-10% of the total human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Luckily, commercial bakeries and other food businesses can take several actions to reduce food loss and its impact on the climate. Some tips for doing so include: Only buying what you need Using or freezing leftovers Composting food scraps Localize supply chains to reduce transportation Upcycle ingredients into new food products Donate extra food to food banks and charities Join PRI Environmental on this International Day of Climate Action and look for new ways to reduce food loss.
