INVITATION: Exhibition Opening:September 18th, 6 p.m. at Friedrichstrasse 23A, Berlin
In Germany, around 11 million tons of food are wasted every year. This amount could potentially feed around 16.4 million people for a year. Reducing food waste is crucial to combating food insecurity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving resources and saving money.
Meat waste in Germany, estimated at 1.2 million tons per year, corresponds to around 36,000 square kilometers of land used for meat production and effectively wasted. This highlights the significant environmental impact of food waste, especially in terms of land use.
“78” features painted trash cans that illustrate the extent of annual food waste per person in Germany. The average German throws away around 78 kilograms of food annually, broken down as follows:
Bread and baked goods: 13%
Fruit and vegetables: 35%
Dairy products and drinks: 21%
Meat products and prepared foods: 19%
Ready meals & others: 12%
Within this work, we aim to raise awareness of the massive problem of food waste in Germany, where most of the food thrown away comes from households and could easily be avoided with conscious consumer behavior.
