When food is lost or wasted, it’s not just the food that goes to waste. It’s also the water, the energy, the land, the labour used to grow, transform, transport, store, cook this food.
Food waste costs $750 billion to the world each year. Kitchens can waste up to 20% of food purchased.
With the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our economy, we are seeing that food insecurity is increasing dramatically. All across the island there are people that need our help. Everybody deserves access to quality, nutritious food, but during these tough times, more people than ever are being forced to go without.
The charities we support are struggling to keep up with demand as new families come through the door each day. FoodWise needs your help to feed the thousands of Mauritius going hungry right now. Join us in giving hope to those doing it tough and donate today.
