Food waste is a worldwide problem. According to a 2013 report by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, a third of all food produced for consumption globally ends up on landfills. Studies conducted by the environmental NGO CENN in 2016 and 2018 found that 40% of the waste found on dumpsites across Georgia is an organic waste; much of which is food. In every single one of the country’s municipalities, household waste makes up the majority of all waste.
