Food waste in the United States carries a real price tag of about $161 billion every year at retail prices, while each household pays roughly $1,500 annually for food it never eats. It also turns into a climate and infrastructure problem fast with 170 million tons of CO2 equivalent released each year and food taking up 18% of US landfill space. The most surprising part is how losses pile up at every step from farms to restaurants, so the totals don’t just add up they multiply.
