Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that about one third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally?

Partly. Several sources repeat the widely cited figure that roughly one third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, but they state it as background framing rather than reporting a measurement. One peer-reviewed paper reports an FAO range of one-quarter to one-third and argues that existing food-waste measures overstate the problem.
