Preventing food waste: cities leading the way forward - A WCEF2024 Accelerator session

Food waste has substantial negative impacts - environmentally, socially and economically. Around one-third of food produced globally is lost or wasted - directly contributing to the climate crisis (representing 8-10% of global greenhouse gases emissions), stressing the environment and exacerbating food insecurity, and resulting in economic losses of an estimated $1 trillion a year. Reducing food loss and waste could thus be one of the leading strategies globally for achieving a sustainable food future. Yet, opportunities provided by food waste prevention remain largely untapped.

This WCEF2024 accelerator session explores strategies that cities put in place to reduce food waste along the food supply chain, building on the CHORIZO and the CityLoops projects.
