FW/FL Prevention & Reduction Dialogue is Important!

Together we need:

  • To create innovative solutions to combat FW/FL
  • To redesign existing food chains
  • New ways to reduce/minimise loss & maximise the

value of food we produce

Because:

  • Both SA and EU are committed => SDGs [12.3 target]
  • Ethically => our food systems are not working properly
  • Economically => it cost a frightening amount of money

SDG 12.3: By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.
