From Food Loss to Food Security: Reducing Waste Across the Food System

About this event

Food loss and waste sit at the intersection of food security, climate change, natural-resource use and sustainable consumption. Food can be lost during production, storage, transport and processing, while significant waste also occurs in retail, food services and households. The event will examine the environmental, economic and social consequences of food loss and waste and highlight practical solutions across the food value chain. Discussions will cover measurement and data, improved storage and logistics, consumer awareness, redistribution of surplus food, circular approaches and cooperation with the private sector. The session will showcase relevant international experience and consider how effective approaches and public-awareness measures could be adapted and expanded.
