Stop Food Waste! For People and Planet.

The IDAFLW 2024 will highlight the critical need for financing to bolster efforts to reduce food loss and waste, contribute to achieving climate goals and advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Enormous amounts of resources – land, water, energy, and labour – are used to produce food. When food is lost or wasted, these resources go to waste, impacting the efficiency of food production. In 2021, the percentage of food lost globally after harvest on farm, transport, storage, wholesale, and processing levels was estimated at 13.2 percent (FAO, 2023). In 2022, the food waste occurring at retail, food service and household level was estimated at 19 percent of all food available to consumers (UNEP, 2024).
