Did you know that 1.3 billion tons of perfectly good food is thrown away every year? While over 800 million people go hungry daily, uneaten food becomes the largest contributor to municipal solid waste, releasing greenhouse gases as it rots—accounting for 8 to 10% of global emissions. Our current food production and consumption systems are taking a toll on human health, biodiversity, and the environment, driving climate change and depleting precious land and water resources.

But here’s the good news: what we eat and how we handle food can make a difference. By reducing food loss and waste, we can improve food security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ease pressure on our planet’s natural resources—all while contributing to better health and economic growth.

In this episode, Ximena and Lorenzo uncover the hidden impact of food waste and share practical steps you can take to be part of the solution. Your choices at the table have the power to nurture both your health and the planet.

Tune in to learn how to turn the tide on food waste and make your diet a force for positive change.
