    The FAO approach to food loss concepts and estimation in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 12 Target 3 2016

    FAO is undertaking a two-pronged approach to building a dedicated global database on post-harvest/slaughter food losses (up to the retail level), and providing country level support to measure, estimate or impute the pertinent data. Country-specific food loss indices will then be calculated, and geo-aggregated up to a global level index. These indices will measure and monitor progress against one of the two components of Sustainable Development Goal 12 Target 3 (denoted as SDG 12.3).

    Food loss reduction is part of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 "Responsible Production and Consumption" in Target 12.3: "By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses". The SDG indicator monitoring food loss is under the custodianship of FAO, which developed an international food loss estimation model to report food losses and tackle scarce data availability and limited country-produced survey-based data. This paper presents first the resulting global food loss percentage for 2021, the percentages by SDG regions and food groups, describes available input data gathered from different sources (official, external databases and literature), and the methodology used to produce the estimates.
