Every year people from around the world come together to declare their commitment to tackle global hunger on 16 October, World Food Day. This day provides an opportunity to shine a light on food waste, our environmental footprint and most importantly the 870 million undernourished people across the planet \u2013 and reaffirm one\u2019s commitment to \u2018save good food, from going bad\u2019 exactly like the GLAD slogan.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that as much as a third of all food produced goes to waste, in South Africa this is equivalent to a staggering 201kg per person annually! A portion of this happens during the production cycle and is why \u2018odd-shaped\u2019 fruit and veggies are being reintroduced by some grocery stores. It is clear though, that we need to act in our daily lives to make a difference in any way we can to reduce this number.<\/p>\n

Let GLAD help you be the hero to stop good food from going bad:<\/strong><\/p>\n
