Forty percent of food in the United States is never eaten, amounting to $165 billion a year in waste, taking a toll on the country's water resources and significantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council released this week.ll that waste has environmental costs, the report says. Food production accounts for 80% of the country's fresh water consumption, but the waste of food means 25% of the fresh water is actually wasted. And wasted food rotting in landfills accounts for 25% of U.S. methane emissions.
