Script “Reducing food loss and waste represents a triple win opportunity with immediate positive impact on food security, climate benefits, and increased availability of nutritious food while improving the overall sustainability of agrifood systems”, QU Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) said on Friday (29 September) speaking at an event to mark the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste held at FAO headquarters in Rome.

 

SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General: “Reducing food loss and waste represents a triple win opportunity with immediate positive impact on food security, climate benefits, and increased availability of nutritious food while improving the overall sustainability of agrifood systems.”

 

FAO Director-General described the current ways in which our foods and fibres are produced, consumed and distributed as needing urgent change to ensure food security and accessible healthy diets for all.  The Director-General emphasized it was time to stop listing the challenges and to move to concrete actions. He added that business as usual was no longer an option, but this could only be changed if all partners and players made a concerted effort to implement identified actions.

 

Currently more than 13 percent of food produced globally is lost in the supply chain from after harvest and prior to retail, and a further 17 per cent is wasted in households, in food services and in retail, according to FAO and UN Environment Programme (UNEP) statistics.

 

At the same time, millions of people across the world are malnourished, and the world is off course to achieve most globally agreed nutrition targets. Healthy diets are an essential part of addressing this issue, yet more than 3.1 billion people were unable to afford a healthy diet in 2021.

 

Instead of the current linear take-make-discard model, the FAO Director-General said global agrifood systems must be transformed to be more efficient, more inclusive, more resilient and more sustainable.

 

SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General: “Our food systems today apply a linear take-make-use-discard operation model that needs to be urgently changed. Global agrifood systems must be transformed to be more efficient, more inclusive, more resilient and more sustainable to ensure food security and accessible healthy diets for all.”

 

FAO argues that the priorities must be to prevent and reduce food loss and waste at source - in production, handling, processing, packaging, storage, and consumption; rescue, recover and redistribute surplus or unsold food that is safe and suitable for consumption and recycle and upcycle or repurpose by-products to keep them out of landfills.

 

Pope Francis, in a message read on his behalf, said that throwing food away is taking it away from people who need it.

 

SOUNDBITE (SPANISH) Monsignor Fernando Chica Arellano, Permanent Representation of the Holy See: “The food that we throw into the trash is torn from the hands of those who lack it and who also have the right to food.”

 

In a video message, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed stated that if we are serious about reducing food loss and waste, we need to fundamentally change our methods of producing, handling, storing, processing, and consuming food.

 

SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Amina Mohamed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations: “We need profound changes in the way we produce, handle, store, process and consume food if we are serious in tackling food waste.”

 

Deputy Executive Director of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Elizabeth Mrema called on governments, companies, institutions, and individuals to reduce food loss and waste.

 

SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Elizabeth Mrema, Deputy Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme: “On the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste I do also call on governments, companies, institutions, individuals to align with the international goals to reduce food loss and waste through integrating food loss and waste reduction into strategies, through appropriate legislations and through consumers’ awareness”.

 

Other participants with messages underlining the need for action on Food Loss and Waste included the President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, Alvaro Lario, and the Humanitarian and Development Programme Director of the World Food Programme, David Kaatrud.

 

FAO has warned that our current agrifood systems degrade agricultural land, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity and consume groundwater.

 

Reducing food loss and waste is central in the transformation of agrifood systems by increasing the availability of food, contributing to food security, healthy diets, building resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
