Reducing food waste could save billions of dollars and lower emissions
Cutting down food waste by consumers could save between 120 and 300 billion dollars per year by 2030 and help in combating climate change.

Healthy soils can play an important role in climate change mitigation through storing carbon, the so-called carbon sequestration, as well as by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. However, when soils are managed poorly or cultivated using unsustainable agricultural practices, carbon stored in soil can be exceedingly released into the atmosphere in the…
