I was somewhat taken by surprise today when I found out that it was International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction. Such an important part of sustainability, it really does deserve much more attention! If we want to be less impactful on the environment and more efficient in our use of land and other resources reducing waste across all aspects of human activity, especially the food supply-chain, is such a no-brainer. And with very little effort we could achieve many significant and positive impacts. https://lnkd.in/eJqy2BkC

🌿 Climate Change and Food Security: These critical issues are intertwined. Approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions stem from food systems. Simultaneously, a third of food production is lost or wasted, exacerbating the climate impact. 🌎 🍽️ Feeding a Growing Population: By 2050, we’ll require 60% more food. However, this necessitates more land, which can harm carbon-absorbing ecosystems. Additionally, increased food production leads to more packaging, demanding effective recycling to curb greenhouse gas emissions. 🌱 ♻️ Circularity Matters: Properly designed and recycled food packaging is essential. The world generates a staggering 2 billion tonnes of waste annually, projected to increase 70% by 2050. A circular economy—where products and materials circulate—reduces reliance on virgin resources. 🔄 📜 Enabling Change Through Policy: Developing a comprehensive regulatory framework in consultation with the industry is essential. Such collaboration not only fosters standards that allow for scalable solutions but also offers legislative assurance, encouraging companies to invest confidently in sustainable practices. This includes establishing a material-agnostic, evidence-based definition of recyclable packaging, crucial for consistent and effective recycling efforts. Policy-making, guided by thorough impact assessments—particularly for perishable goods—is key to transforming our food systems towards sustainability. 🌏 #sustainability #climateaction #circulareconomy #decadeofaction SUSTAINX
