SocietyWhich countries waste the most food, and how can households reduce waste?

The UN estimates that 645 million people faced hunger in 2025, while nearly one-fifth of food available to consumers is thrown away. Households account for 60 percent of that waste. The Maldives has the highest per-person food waste, at about 260kg a year; Spain is among the lowest, at about 39kg or less.
