      What does the yellow part illustrate? The amount of food consumed by people, consumed by animals and people, consumed by animals and people or processed into frozen food?

      Data source: open internet sources, google.
      Tools: pastel paper, craft paper, inkjet printer, Cameo plotter, glue 🙂

      33% seems like a lot but also not that much when you think about all the food that spoils or is just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Idk, seems pretty alright. There’s obviously room for improvement but I wonder what’s most practical when it comes to food waste.

      I don’t know what people are nitpicking for. This is awesome, and clearly hard enough to make that it shouldn’t matter whether you don’t have a perfect explanation of what each part of the plot represents precisely.

      I think it’s cool, I like it. It’s data, and it’s beautiful.

      Your title and statistic are the same size and style, making it confusing. When your audience reads “30% food wasted”, they’ll expect more information when they look to the similar yellow box on the left, but only find the title. I’d change the style and shape of the yellow box.

      Overall, nice visual idea and texture use.

      I am a data guy have been for decades. 

      I am volunteering on a farm now. With our and our neighbours fruit crops. I would believe it’s higher that 33% is wasted. (Or fed to animals / composted.)

      I remember a decade ago learning in low income countries, food is wasted due to a lack of infrastructure. In high income countries, it is just consumer-end waste. Yet the percentage is similar in both cases.

      Cool visualisation! Do you have any more data about what sorts of food are wasted and why? I’m trying to start an initiative using a flavour pairing algorithm to facilitate greater food preservation
