We operate in and have been working with 71 of our largest global suppliers to reduce food waste and have already reported a reduction of more than 40 per cent , compared to our 2016/17 baseline. “Using the framework of the Target Measures Act, we are taking action on an ongoing basis, from expanding our specifications and selling vegetables in our 'perfectly imperfect' range, to donating surplus produce to schools and communities in Kenya . “This year, several of our suppliers will report food loss and waste from their own farm for the first time, helping us address waste at the beginning of the supply chain.
To date, only 11 of the 192 national climate plans (about 5 percent) submitted as part of the Paris Climate Agreement mention food loss and waste. Most of these 11 plans come from African nations addressing post-harvest losses. Taking a more holistic view and addressing losses at all stages of farms will help mitigate climate change, reduce pressure to reduce Chinese Australia Phone Number List nature and help achieve food security. Sent to the Trash finds that food is lost on farms for a variety of reasons, including controllable factors and human decisions. “This report makes clear that providing access to technology and training on farms is not enough; “Decisions that companies and governments make further down the supply chain have a significant impact on the levels of food lost or wasted on farms,” said Lilly Da Gama, WWF Food Loss and Waste Program Manager.
United Kingdom, one of the main authors of the report. “To achieve a significant reduction, governments and market players must take action to support farmers around the world and commit to halving food waste at all stages of the supply chain. “Current policies are not ambitious enough.COVID-19 has tested the capabilities of each country, to face this challenge, as well as the environmental issue, nations must implement actions focused on achieving the reactivation of the economy but aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. (SDG) of the 2030 Agenda. It is time to apply measures and rethink models that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while continuing to encourage work activity.
