About one-third of global food production is lost or wasted annually, while 800 million people go hungry. Creating a circular food economy within planetary limits is essential to sustain the world’s growing population, projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. As we head to the 2024 Africa Food Systems Forum to discuss revolutionizing food systems in🌍, learn how a circular food economy is impacting lives through our Circular Food Systems for Rwanda program 🌽. Join us today, September 2nd, at 3 PM at the Lemigo Hotel (Muhabura Room) for our side event at the Forum as we launch our #ACE4Food outcomes on co-creating a thriving circular food economy for East Africa ➡ https://bit.ly/4e7vgXj #AFSForum #CircularFoodEconomy #FoodSecurity Eric Ruzigamanzi, Dr Susan Chomba, Wanjira Mathai, WRI Food, AFS Forum, IKEA Foundation

🍏 As Climate Week approaches, it’s a fitting moment to celebrate NYC's efforts to lower food-related carbon emissions! 🥇 Congratulations to the NYC Mayor’s Office of Food Policy on publishing the first annual report for their Plant-Powered Carbon Challenge! This initiative works with a wide range of food-service organizations to reduce their food-related emissions by 25% by 2030. Many participants use resources like the WRI Food Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices to help craft sustainability efforts that will not only drive change but also resonate with their customers. This work takes a village, and we’re excited to see what’s to come for NYC! 👉 Read the Plant-Powered Carbon Challenge annual report: https://lnkd.in/gPiXwMcc 👉 Check out our Playbook: https://lnkd.in/e-zDi6xj #sustainablediets #plantbased #foodsystems

The #ParisOlympics are over but their efforts to reduce food waste will live on, and hopefully inspire action from future Games (looking at you Los Angeles 👀 ) 🥇 Over 39 tons of food has been collected by various groups since the start of the Games and diverted to food banks and charities that serve people in need. 🍽 In France, around 8 million people do not have enough to eat, while 10 million tons of food are wasted annually. 🌍 Globally, an estimated 32% of all food produced is lost or wasted from farm to fork. This accounts for about $940 billion per year in economic losses and 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. There is huge, world-wide potential to save money, feed more people, and reduce emissions by addressing food loss and waste.
