Addressing Food Waste

ACWW Resolution Addressing Food Waste
Be it resolved that ACWW facilitates both action and advocacy on the issue of food waste, recognizing that food waste occurs throughout the global food supply chain, and that coordinated action is required to migrate food loss and wastage at every stage. 

International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste
This day is observed on September 29th and is co-convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The day’s goal is to raise awareness of food loss and waste, and to promote action to reduce it. The 2024 theme is “Climate Finance for Food Loss and Waste Reduction”.
