Food Waste and SDG 12.3: How LogMeal is Leading Change
Food waste and SDG 12.3 are critical global issues that demand urgent action. Each year, 1.05 billion tonnes of food go to waste, impacting economies, increasing carbon emissions, and worsening food insecurity. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reports that 60% of this waste comes from households.
To address this crisis, SDG 12.3 aims to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. However, success depends on technological innovation and responsible consumption. AI-driven tools like LogMeal help track, measure, and minimize food waste, enabling individuals and businesses to make data-driven decisions that contribute to sustainability.
Why Food Waste and SDG 12.3 Matter
The Environmental and Economic Impact of Food Waste
Food waste is not just a climate challenge but also an economic issue. In Spain, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) found that households waste an average of €7.06 per week, which totals €1,452.48 per year for a family of four.
Beyond financial losses, food waste contributes to carbon emissions, water overuse, and land depletion. If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. Addressing food waste through SDG 12.3 is essential for sustainability and economic well-being.
