Great session on the role of the circular economy in reducing #foodwaste and driving #food system transformation. There are so many great technologies available that that a circular food system is looking increasingly feasible. #F4F2023

The brilliant Ellen MacArthur talks about how sailing around the world brought home to her how we can care for finite resources. We will fall off the linear model - hence urgency to create the circular model in fashion, food, buildings - all sectors.⁦Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Our WRAP NGO Director @R_Swanell reflects on highs and lows of #ClimateWeekNYC - the leaps forward, and the stark evidence that we are off track to meet our SDG targets.

A third of all food produced is lost or wasted and is responsible for an astounding 10% of #GHG emissions. What progress are we making on halving #FoodLossAndWaste and delivering #SDG123? Not enough according to #Champions123. Time to up our game.

It was really good to see focus on action at #ClimateWeekNYC last week. It appears food systems transformation is building momentum which is timely and reassuring. In case you missed it, these here are a couple of videos we took whilst there: linkedin.com/posts/richard-…

Globally, around 13% of food produced is lost between harvest & retail, while another 17% is wasted at retail & consumer level. We all have an important role to play in reducing food loss & waste.

To mark International Day of Food Loss and Waste, I went with ⁦Dr Wend⁩ ⁦Northumberland County Council⁩ to visit an anaerobic digester turning food waste into gas for the grid. Northumberland are running a food waste collection trial and so far, so very good.⁦GAP Group

On average each of us wastes 74 kg of food every year- more than the average human body weight. On #FLWDay we can all do more to buy what we need & eat what we buy- saving money & help tackle the #ClimateCrisis. Love Food Hate Waste provides simple ways to act today. WRAP NGO #Champions123

One way to reduce #plasticpollution and #foodwaste is to sell more fresh produce unwrapped. See wrap.org.uk/media-centre/p… WRAP NGO #Champions123 UN Environment Programme #FLWDay
