International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)’s Post

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.
