Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)Flagship2024年粮食及农业状况
价值驱动农业粮食体系转型
2024揭示膳食的真实成本是打造更包容、更有韧性、更可持续农业粮食体系的第一 步。正如《2023年粮食及农业状况》所述，农业粮食体系活动为社会创造了重大利益， 但也对经济、社会、环境可持续性产生了负面影响。农业粮食体系的隐性成本估计约占全球国内生产总值的10%。因此，采取战略行动至关重要，农业粮食体系中所有行动主体，包括从生产者、农业企业到消费者和政府等，都应发挥关键作用。虽然实现农业粮食体系转型将为全球带来净收益，但转型的收益和成本在各利益相关方和国家之间却难以均匀分配。《2024年粮食及农业状况》基于2023年版的发现，深入探讨如何采用农业粮食体系真实成本核算，确定转型所需的政策干预措施。报告利用经过更新的全球数据库，确认了先前核算的农业粮食体系隐性成本，并详细列出了156个国家与不健康膳食结构和非传染性疾病相关的隐性成本。报告从六种类型农业粮食体系入手开展分析，根据预期结果和隐性成本设计不同的政策干预措施。案例研究便于我们对国家、地方和价值链场景进行深入评估，展示当前做法对经济、社会和环境的影响，为政策干预措施提供指导。在所有场景下，都必须与利益相关方开展包容性协商，以便为干预措施提供依据，并努力调和权力失衡和不同目标之间的利弊取舍。 -
