>According to food rescue group, OzHarvest, globally, 10 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions comes from food that was grown but not eaten.
>If wasted food was a country, it would rank as the world's third largest emitter of such gases, behind China and the US.
>"Globally, nearly half of food emissions come from road transport, with Australia sitting second in the world for the level of food transport emissions produced, one-third of which are from transporting fruits and vegetables," AUSVEG said in its submission.
