Food waste emits five times more greenhouse gases than aviation
Original: Rotting food waste emits 5 times more greenhouse gases than planes
The UN says food that rots in landfills releases five times more greenhouse gases than the entire aviation industry, making food waste one of the largest sources of methane and other climate-warming emissions. The finding highlights how reducing waste from farms, shops and households could deliver major climate gains. Attention is turning to better composting, food redistribution and household habits as relatively simple ways to cut emissions quickly.
Why now: The UN has published a striking comparison quantifying food waste as a major, often overlooked climate problem.
