On World Food Day, October 16, a national week on access to good food started in Bulgaria. According to FAO estimates, 1/3 of the world's food is discarded or lost in the production chain.
In Bulgaria, about 670,000 tons of edible food is disposed of annually, equivalent to about 2 billion portions or 100 kg. of food per capita, Hristina Bancheva, Executive Director of Ecocentric Foundation, told BNR.
