Humanity relies on agriculture to provide nourishment, yet there is an urgent need to reduce the agricultural sector’s environmental footprint. Meeting these two goals is crucial for both people and the planet to thrive. On August 27, join IFPRI and The CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions for a special event to discuss the importance of heeding the wisdom and experiences of the world’s smallholder, Indigenous, and family farmers, who are facing the effects of climate change and environmental degradation firsthand as they endeavor to earn a living and feed their families and communities. 🔍 🎫 Register here: https://bit.ly/Grain- 🤝 Check out our Facebook event page: https://bit.ly/Grain-FB 💼 Check out our LinkedIn event page: https://bit.ly/Grain-LI #IFPRISpecialEvent

Overall, food systems contribute an estimated 33% to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; food waste alone is responsible for 8%-10%. Yet most countries that have submitted their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for reducing carbon emissions under the Paris Climate Agreement have not included any commitments for reducing food loss and waste (FLW). This recent blog by Suresh Babu, Yogendra Karki, Innocent PANGAPANGA-PHIRI, Md Sadat Anowar, and Nandita Srivastava documents a set of issues and opportunities that emerged from national level consultations in #Bangladesh, #Malawi, and #Nepal on FLW management. The consultations took place in April-June 2024 under the Comprehensive Action for Climate Change Initiative (CACCI), the USAID - US Agency for International Development flagship program, through its Asia program led by IFPRI.
