Sustainable, resilient and inclusive food systems development
Develop a voluntary code of conduct for food loss and waste reduction.
1. Present a set of internationally agreed, locally adaptable guiding principles and standards for responsible practices that different stakeholders can apply to effectively reduce food loss and waste (FLW) while promoting sustainable and inclusive food systems, hence aiding the achievement of sustainable development. 2. Provide Governmental and other actors with a benchmark and a framework for developing global, regional and national strategies, policies, institutions, legislation and programmes on FLW reduction. 4. Provide guidance against which different stakeholders can gauge the actions they take to reduce FLW. 5. Facilitate joint action, the harmonization of approaches, and the assessment of progress, which together are essential for achieving SDG 12.3 and the other inter-related SDGs.
