TRANSCRIPT
SAVE FOOD Global Initiative for Food Loss and Waste ReductionJorge M Fonseca
870 million people in hunger
91 billion to be fed in 2050
Natural disasters increasing 3x since 1980
Resources for food production diminishing
Urban population increasing rapidly
ldquoZero Hunger Challengerdquo
Food Security Economics Sustainability
Global Initiative on Food Losses and Waste Reduction

Estimates do not tell the entire story
bull Other studies have shown slightly different numbers
bull Nevertheless a consensual conclusion High Losses
bull Needs for standardizing quantification methodology and for identifying sourcescauses of losses is clear
Global Initiative on Food Losses and Waste Reduction
1 Awareness raising on the impact of and solutions for food loss and waste
2 Collaboration and coordination of world-wide initiatives on food loss and waste reduction
3 Policy strategy and programme development for food loss and waste reduction
4 Support to investment programmes and projects implemented by private and public sectors
The basic pillars of Save Food
Holistic Integrated FSC and food system approach
Quantifying at critical points
A new strategy development of standard methodology
Standard Methodology
- The four ldquoSrdquo approach
- Identification of
lsquoCritical Loss Pointsrsquo based on disaggregated data
Initial Case Studies in the Field Kenya Indonesia
Policy strategy and programme development for food loss and waste reduction ndash some progress in the 2012-13

bull Food loss is the decrease in quantity and quality of food
bull Non-food parts (in this case of food plants) are those not intended to be consumed by humans
bull The intentionality depends on the specific food supply chain the geographical and cultural context
