We throw away food
In Norway, we throw away almost 400,000 tonnes of food every year. A lot of stores throw away food that has gone out of date.
But you and I throw away the most. Over 42 kilos per person a year!
We must stop buying more food than we need. And we must become better at using the leftovers.
Food production makes up 1/3 of the world’s greenhouse gas release. It is important to the environment that we reduce food waste.

Food waste
Preventable food waste is food that could have been eaten, for example milk, bread and fruit. Stores can, for example, lower the prices of food that are close to going out of date. Shops can also give it to charity. In this way, it gets eaten.
Non-edible food waste is food that you don’t want to eat, for example, scraps from fish, meat and vegetables.
