When food is lost or wasted, the resources used to produce it go to waste too.
For #FLWDay, chef Alessandro Borghese, @fao.org Champion, takes us into the forest to explore the foods it provides and why we should make the most of every ingredient.
#StopFoodLossWaste Almost 90% of global deforestation is driven by agricultural expansion. Yet 28% of the world's agricultural land is used to grow food that is ultimately never eaten.
We must act now to #StopFoodLossWaste.
