Food Is Precious—Let’s Not Waste It!

Join us in transforming food waste into meaningful action.

The Food Waste Crisis in Numbers


Every year, 1/3 of all food produced globally (about 1.3 billion tons) is wasted.

In India, over 67 million tons of food is wasted annually—enough to feed the entire population of Bihar for a year.

Millions go hungry while food worth ₹92,000 crores is wasted in India every year.

What is wasteNOT India?

At WasteNOT India, we believe food is a gift, not a commodity to be squandered. Our mission is to inspire a cultural shift toward conscious consumption and to build a future where no meal goes to waste. By collaborating with restaurants, chefs, and communities, we tackle food waste at its source and empower everyone to make mindful choices.

What We Do:
  • Raise Awareness: Run campaigns to shed light on the food waste crisis and its impact.
  • Empower Restaurants: Help kitchens optimise processes to minimise waste.
  • Build Communities: Foster networks of individuals and organisations committed to zero waste.
