Reducing food loss and waste by 70% compared to 2018 delivers the province of Utrecht a reduction of 120 kton CO₂-eq per year by 2030. This ambitious scenario follows the UN line of 75% reduction relative to 2015.
Utrecht consumers together caused 78,303 tonnes of CO₂-eq in food waste in 2018. Wasting less also indirectly reduces the demand for farmland — and with it, emissions across the whole chain.
