Do you know our various consumption habits can cause negative impact on the biodiversity?

Each year, an estimated one third of all food produced – equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes worth around $1 trillion – ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices. In some case, food waste from the table can be higher up to 40% from total.

Eating up the whole food can reduce Co2 up to 87.45-94.56 Gigatons. It seems easy but possibly hard to take action. Once we are hungry, we take too much food unconsciously and some must be left after we feel full. On the other hand, there are many other factors that allows us not to eat up. All the left-over food can cause methane gas and lead to the global warming condition.

WWF-Thailand believes that there are huge opportunities to produce more food in a way that works with nature, not against it. As part of the Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) project, the “Eat Better” campaign was launched as an awareness-raising initiative to ramp up social momentum towards achieving a sustainable food system through responsible consumption. The campaign invites us to give thought to our consumption behavior and attitude - how we eat, purchase, manage and understand to need to adopt green eating lifestyle. From choosing to eat sustainable produced food, seasonal and local foods, food waste reduction, and learning to read food labels, the campaign offers opportunities and solutions for us to pave the way towards a sustainable future. More information for a better understanding of how we eat up can help the world.
