Workshop on Reduction of Food Loss and Waste for Sustainable Food Systems

When food is wasted, all the resources used to produce it are also lost. The disposal of food in landfills leads to greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. Loss and waste occur in different stages of food systems from production to consumption and vary based on economic situations. Food loss mainly occurs at the production level in low-economy countries, while food is wasted at the consumer level in high-economy ones. It is essential to reduce FLW at all levels to meet UN SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Meeting UN SDGs aligns with core framework of the APO’s Green Productivity (GP) 2.0 as it aims to balance socioeconomic progress with environmental sustainability. This workshop aligns with the APO’s GP 2.0 endeavor and aims to promote food security and sustainability in its members.
