The food we waste

Today's Gospel reading (Lk 9: 1 - 6) might help to remind us that one million tonnes of food is watsed every year in Ireland at a cost of €700 million euro.

Every year 100 million tonnes of  food is binned across the EU.

Forty per cent of all food produced in the United States of America is never eaten.
