Food Loss & Waste Protocol
One-third of all food produced globally by weight is lost or wasted between farm and fork, resulting in significant environmental impacts and $940 billion in economic losses annually. To attain a more efficient system, more countries and companies must quantify their food loss and waste. However, without a consistent set of definitions and accounting and reporting framework — what’s considered “food loss and waste” has historically varied — it is difficult to identify and address food loss and waste hotspots.
