 You know, across the globe today, 31% of total greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to the food system. These emissions, well, they emerge from the production, the processing, the packaging, the transport, the storage, the consumption and the disposal of food. Increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contribute to climate change. Higher temperatures and humidity conditions resulting from climate change will lower productivity on our farms. It will also increase food spoilage and contamination along food value chains. Climate change is already impacting food safety and food security. If we're to secure sufficient, safe and nutritious food for this generation and future generations, the time to act is now. So we must maximise the use of food produced and reduce food loss and food waste. By composting on avoidable food waste we can enrich the quality of our soil while contributing to the reduction in carbon emissions globally. So let's act now to reduce food loss and waste for healthy people and a healthy planet.
