According to FAO, one third of the total production of food in the world is wasted, an amount that tops 1,300 million Tons per year. This means that each European and North American throws to the wastebin between 95 and 115 kg/year, due to consuming habits, and that in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia, 6 to 11 kg are lost because of lack of distribution and refrigeration.
