 What is
Food Waste?

When was the last time you
looked in your fridge and had to
throw something away? For many of
us, this is more common than we’d
like to admit. The United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization
estimates that, every year, a third of
food produced does not even reach
the table. Reducing food waste is
considered one of the top five areas
of concern in moving towards more
sustainable lifestyles. As individuals,

studies to analyse the causes of, and viable solutions for food loss. The Save
Food Initiative also conducts studies on the socio-economic impacts of food

Their goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people
have regular access to enough high quality food to lead active and healthy
lives. With over 194 member states, FAO works in over 130 countries
worldwide. We believe that everyone can play a part in ending hunger.
FAO has strategies for reducing food waste, called The Save Food Initiative.

The Save Food Initiative was launched by FAO and Messe Düsseldorf
at the Interpack 2011 trade fair for the packaging and processing industry,
held in Düsseldorf, Germany. The global programme rests on four main
pillars:

1. Collaboration and coordination of worldwide initiatives on food

loss and waste reduction: Save Food has established a global partnership
of public and private sector organizations and companies that are active
in the fight against food loss and waste. To develop, plan and implement
interventions and use resources efficiently, it is essential that all initiatives are
well coordinated, so that everybody knows what is happening worldwide.
Information, problems and solutions are shared, and methodologies,
strategies and approaches are harmonized.
2. Awareness raising on the impact of, and solutions for, food loss and
waste: This will be achieved through a global communication and media Source: www.fao.org/save-food/news-and-multimedia/news/news-details/en/c/1062697/
