While 828 million people go hungry worldwide, billions of tons of food are wasted every year. This stark paradox highlights the deep inequality and inefficiencies in global food distribution.

Why Does This Happen?
Inefficient Supply Chains: Poor storage and transportation allow food to spoil before it ever reaches those in need.
Overproduction: Surpluses often go unused or unharvested, compounding waste as edible food is discarded.
Consumer Habits: Buying more than necessary and discarding leftovers at home adds to the problem.
How You Can Help—With FreshTik’s Ethos
Support Food Banks: Donate excess or near-expiry food to local charities and recovery programs.
Shop Mindfully: Purchase only what you truly need and share surplus with neighbours, reducing household waste.
Advocate for Change: Champion policies and initiatives that focus on food recovery, smarter supply chains, and better distribution.
The world produces enough food to feed everyone—yet millions still go hungry. At FreshTik, we believe that extending freshness, improving supply chains, and raising awareness are key steps to building a future where no one goes without. Small actions, shared responsibility, and innovative solutions can close the gap between waste and want.
Together, let’s turn this global paradox into an opportunity for lasting change.
