The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has unveiled a comprehensive platform which aims to help the global community move faster to reduce food loss and waste.
The UN agency and partners have called for increased efforts and for the world to prepare for the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste – which is to take place for the first time on 29 September 2020.
The platform complies information on measurement, reduction, policies, alliances, actions and examples of successful models applied to reduce food loss and waste across the globe.
Wasting food means wasting scarce natural resources, increasing climate change impacts and missing the opportunity to feed a growing population in the future
