A new report on Wednesday by the British branch of NGO WWF and UK supermarket giant Tesco, shows that 1.2bn tonnes (over 15 percent) of food produced globally is lost during harvest or slaughter procedures. The research states that 58 percent of farm-related food waste takes place in middle- and high-income regions. WWF is calling on Brussels to address food waste through EU policies.
