Global Food Scandal

With shortages, volatile prices, environmental disasters and nearly one billion people hungry, the world has a food problem - or thinks it does. Combining front-line investigation with startling new data, Waste shows how the way we live now has created a global food crisis - and what we can do to fix it.

Liber-ate: ‘liber’ is the Latin for free; ‘ate’ is the past tense of eat. Rich countries waste around half of their food supplies: it is time to free food from the wastefulness of modern society – for the good of the planet and all its inhabitants. This site campaigns for a change in attitudes towards food production, in the industry and in our own homes.
