A global movement to halve food loss and waste for climate, people and shared prosperity.
Why action on food loss and waste matters
Reducing food loss and waste is the world’s biggest environmental and social opportunity that isn’t being talked about. Tackling it fights climate change and hunger while making our food system more efficient and resilient.
Food loss and waste is embedded in how we grow, sell, and consume food, driven by economic incentives that favour excess production, regulations that hinder redistribution, infrastructure that neglects sustainability, and cultural norms equating abundance with prosperity.
Addressing it requires coordinated, systemic change around the world.
What we’re achieving together
While global progress on climate and social goals is off track, the WRAP-convened Food Pact Network is showing what real action can look like through coordinated, collective action:
Uniting over 900 organisations, the success of the Food Pact Network demonstrates the power of joined-up action between governments, businesses and NGOs.
Inside the report
Our first Food Pact Network Impact Report showcases our collective progress to date, as well as a spotlight on the Network’s 10 global members: Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and two initiatives in the United States of America. Together we represent 14% of the global population, 38% of global GDP and around 20% of global food waste.
The results demonstrate that progress is being made, but there’s still significant untapped potential. With the right backing and more action from funders, governments and business, the Food Pact Network can continue to build a world that values food, cuts emissions, feeds more people, and protects nature.
“Progress has been made possible thanks to the vision and commitment of public and private funders, whose support has enabled countries to establish, strengthen, and expand action. This report offers clear evidence that the model works, and that with sustained investment, the Food Pact Network can continue to grow in reach and impact, accelerating the transition to a more sustainable global food system.”
