    Despite broad agreement in policy circles on the need to reduce food loss and waste (FLW), considerable gaps ininformation still exist. This paper identifies policy-relevant information gaps, summarizes recent research thattries to fill these gaps and identifies five challenges for researchers, policymakers and practitioners in reducingFLW. The five challenges identified are: (i) measuring and monitoring FLW, (ii) assessing benefits and costs ofFLW reduction and the tradeoffs involved, (iii) designing FLW-related policies and interventions under limitedinformation, (iv) understanding how interactions between stages along food value chain and across countriesaffect outcomes of FLW reduction efforts, (v) preparing for income transitions and the shifting relative importanceof losses and waste as economies develop.

    Reducing food waste can have a positive impact on food security, the climate and the overall sustainability of agrifood systems. Since food waste and by-products may contain contaminants, it is essential to incorporate food safety management measures when redistributing or upcycling these materials for other uses, to ensure consumer health.This brief provides an overview of the food safety considerations in repurposing or upcycling food waste and by-products in the transformation to a circular agrifood system. It is one of five briefs accompanying the FAO publication, Food Safety in a Circular Economy.
