Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU)’s Post

Today we had a very fruitful workshop at Movenpick Hotel and Residences Nairobi, bringing together all stakeholders drawn from Government, Academia, NGOs, Farmers, Businesses, Researchers, FAO, Private sector, CBOs, other development partners, among others on Food Loss and Food Waste Measurement Sensitization. The outcomes of the workshop were: 1. increased awareness and knowledge on FLW protocol and guidelines, 2. enhanced understanding of the need to measure and act against FLW, 3. increased willingness of businesses to participate in the protocol piloting exercise and 4. developed a roadmap for piloting FLW assessment in selected value chains developed (maize, potatoes, mangoes, avocados, bananas, fish). We look forward to generating accurate data on FLW in Kenya for the selected value chains and beyond and target to reduce our FLW by 50% by 2030
