Description

One-third of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted from farm to fork, according to estimates calculated by FAO. This wastage not only has an enormous negative impact on the global economy and food availability, it also has major environmental impact. The aim of the Toolkit is to showcase concrete examples of good practices for food loss and waste reduction, while pointing to information sources, guidelines and pledges favoring food wastage reduction. The inspirational examples featured throughout this Toolkit demonstrate that everyone, from individual households and producers, through governments, to large food industries, can make choices that will ultimately lead to sustainable consumption and production patterns, and thus, a better world for all.
