Thanks Joseff. It's important to link food waste and GHG. Reducing the former can lower the latter. I think the impact on GHG could be even greater though. One huge source of GHG that isn't mentioned above - nor in the Project Drawdown calcs as far as I can tell - is fugitive methane emissions from landfills. This is a HUGE contributor to GHG, especially given methane's much more potent warming effect. Almost all that methane emanating from landfill (trash dumps) is due to food ending up in garbage.
