50kg of food wasted per person per year in Indian homes: UNEP

联合国环境规划署：印度家庭每人每年浪费50公斤食物

NEW DELHI: An estimated 931 million tonnes of food, or 17% of total food available to consumers in 2019 globally, went into the waste bins of households, retailers, restaurants and other food services, said the Food Waste Index Report 2021, released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on Thursday.

新德里：联合国环境规划署周四发布的《2021年食物浪费指数报告》称，估计有9.31亿吨食物进入了家庭、零售商、餐馆和其他餐饮店的垃圾桶，占2019年全球消费者可获得食物总量的17%。

The weight of the global food waste roughly equals India’s total production of foodgrain, oilseeds, sugarcane and horticultural produce, put together, in 2019-20.

2019- 2020年，全球浪费的食物大致相当于印度粮食、油籽、甘蔗和园艺产品的总产量。

The report shows that most of this waste globally comes from households followed by food services and retail outlets.

报告显示，全球大部分浪费的粮食来自家庭，其次是餐饮店和零售店。

On a global per capita level, 121 kg of consumer-level food is wasted each year, with 74 kg of this happening in households.

按全球人均水平计算，在消费者环节，每人每年浪费121公斤食物，其中74公斤发生在家庭。

In South Asia, estimates at the household level show a waste of 50 kg of food per person per year in India compared to 82 kg in Afghanistan, 79 kg in Nepal, 76 kg in Sri Lanka, 74 kg in Pakistan and 65 kg in Bangladesh.

在南亚，据估计印度每人每年浪费50公斤食物，而阿富汗每人每年浪费82公斤、尼泊尔每人每年浪费79公斤、斯里兰卡每人每年浪费76公斤、巴基斯坦每人每年浪费74公斤、孟加拉国每人每年浪费65公斤。

Per capita, food wastage is, in fact, much higher in west Asian and sub-Saharan African countries compared to South Asian and most of the European and North American countries, challenging earlier narratives of higher consumer food waste in developed countries, and food production, storage and transportation losses in develo countries.

事实上，西亚和撒哈拉以南非洲国家的人均粮食浪费比南亚和大多数欧洲和北美国家要高得多，这对以前关于发达国家食物浪费增加以及发展家粮食生产、储存和运输损失的说法提出了质疑。

Referring to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) which estimates that 690 million people were hungry in 2019, the food waste index report said the number was expected to rise sharply during and post-Covid-19.

联合国粮食及农业组织(粮农组织)估计2019年有6.9亿人处于饥饿状态，《食物浪费指数报告》表示，在新冠疫情期间和之后，这一数字预计将大幅上升。

Having lived in multiple countries and seeing habits of people. Indians have high regards and respect for food.  A US resident wastes at least 5 times to that of a counterpart.

曾在多个国家生活过，了解不同地区人们的习惯，印度人非常珍惜食物。美国居民的浪费的食物至少是其他国家居民的5倍。

More people are dying from over-eating than starving in India. Lots of food is wasted by rich people, star hotels, etc. which could be donated to poor people.

在印度，死于暴饮暴食的人比饿死的人还多。富人、星级酒店等浪费了很多食物，这些食物本可以捐给穷人的。
