    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.

    Regional Strategic Framework Reducing Food Losses and Waste in the Near East & North Africa Region 2015
    Also available in:

    Food losses and waste (FL&W) in the Near East & North Africa (NENA) region are high and contribute to reduced food availability, aggravated water scarcity, adverse environmental impacts and increased food imports, in an already highly import-dependent region. This document outlines a Regional Strategic Framework for reducing food losses and waste in the region. It responds to the FAO NERC-31 (in May 2012) recommendation calling on FAO to “assist member countries in addressing the key challenges of reducing food waste and losses by conducting comprehensive studies on impact of food losses and waste on food security in the region and in establishing a plan to reduce food losses and waste in the region by 50% within 10 years”. The components of the strategic framework are based on the region’s socio-economic context, gaps in combating FL&W, and availability of resources.
