Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Food Production

Hold your forks, because the foodtech industry is on a mission to transform the way we produce, distribute, and consume food. Why?

Because a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, weighing in at a staggering 13.7 billion tonnes, can be attributed to our current food systems.

As if that weren't alarming enough, one-third of all the food we painstakingly produce, package, and transport each year goes straight to waste, while a staggering 828 million people grapple with food security and hunger daily.
