DID you know that Malaysians produce 15,000 tonnes of food waste every day? Food waste end up in landfills where they generate methane, a major greenhouse gas.

On a different but related point, Malaysia is highly self-sufficient in the livestock and aquaculture industry. However, up to 70% of animal feed is made up of imported raw materials such as corn and soybean. These crops require large amounts of land and water to cultivate, thus leaving a heavy toll on the environment.
