A national report on food waste published in Israel found that 2.6 million tonnes of food had been wasted in the country in 2021 at the cost of about 21.3 billion shekels ($6 billion) and enough to feed 3.5 million people.

 

The wasted food is equivalent to about 37 per cent of Israel's annual food production by volume, showed the report, which was initiated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Israel-based food rescue organization Leket Israel, and written by accounting and consulting firm BDO Israel.

 

For a country of some 9.5 million population, this means the wasted amount could have fed about 3.5 million individuals for a year, Xinhua news agency quoted Leket Israel as saying.
