About the Event
Stop Food Waste Day is the largest single day of action against global food waste, observed annually on the last Wednesday of April. Launched in 2017 by Compass Group USA, it unites individuals, businesses, and communities worldwide to educate on food waste issues and ignite behavioral change. The initiative highlights the environmental impact of food waste, which contributes 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Participants are encouraged to prevent waste at the source through optimal storage and meal planning, inspire others to reduce waste, and repurpose surplus food. Millions have pledged to end food waste, sharing tips and engaging in global conversations to minimize environmental impact.
