Why this matters for the Caribbean
The Caribbean wastes an estimated 50 million tonnes of food each year across the supply chain. A significant portion of that waste happens at the retail and food service level, where businesses prepare more than they can sell.
That waste has a cost beyond the food itself. It contributes to greenhouse gas emissions when it decomposes in landfill. It represents water, energy, and labour that went into producing food that no one ate. It is also a financial loss for the businesses that prepared it.
Last Bite tackles the retail end of that chain. It is not a complete solution, but it is a practical one that works with existing business operations and existing consumer habits.
What 45,000 kg of food waste prevented looks like

Individual meals that reached a person rather than a landfill, across Trinidad and Tobago
Estimates based on standard food waste emissions factors and average Caribbean meal size. We update these figures quarterly.
