In Mexico, 20.4 million tons of food are lost and wasted annually. This represents 34% of all food produced. Its economic cost is estimated at 491 billion Mexican pesos (about 26 billion dollars), or the equivalent of 2.5% of the country's GDP.
To provide solutions to this problem, we launched the #SinDesperdicioMéxico Contest, which will grant non-reimbursable financing and customized incubation to innovative, viable and impact solutions.
