Global Food Waste: According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Food Waste Index Report 2021, approximately 931 million tons of food waste was generated globally in 2019. This includes food wasted at the household, retail, and food service levels.

Per Capita Food Waste: On average, 121 kilograms of food per capita is wasted each year at the household level.

Food Waste Estimates:

Continued Trends: If food waste trends continue at the current rate without significant intervention, the global food waste in 2024 and 2025 could be expected to exceed 931 million tons annually, potentially reaching or surpassing 950 million to 1 billion tons per year.

Factors Affecting Projections:

Population Growth: As the global population continues to grow, food waste could increase proportionally if no substantial changes are made in food management practices.

Economic Recovery: Post-pandemic economic recovery might lead to increased food production and consumption, potentially increasing waste.

Interventions: On the flip side, if global initiatives to reduce food waste (such as more widespread adoption of food-saving technologies, better education, and stricter regulations) are successful, the amount of food waste might stabilize or even decrease.

Conclusion:

Given these factors, food waste in 2024 and 2025 is likely to be in the range of 950 million to 1 billion tons per year if current trends continue. However, this could be reduced with effective interventions and a collective effort to manage food more responsibly.

For precise data and projections, it would be best to consult the latest reports from organizations like the UNEP, FAO, and other environmental or food industry reports as they are released.
