During this webinar, organized by the SFS-MED Platform and held on 28 January 2025, stakeholders from across the Mediterranean came together to share insights, strategies and experiences on addressing the growing challenge of food loss and waste in the region. Panelists emphasized the powerful role cities can play in driving innovation and systems change by promoting more efficient resource use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating social and economic benefits - from improved public health to new job opportunities. Strategic urban governance was highlighted as critical to identifying local drivers of food waste and enabling context-specific solutions, supported by clear legislation, cross-sectoral policies and incentives for the private sector. The discussion underscored the importance of multi-level coordination, linking local, national and international efforts, as well as the need for stronger collaboration between science, policy and practice. Advancing research, education and technology transfer were seen as pivotal to unlocking practical, scalable solutions. Ultimately, reducing food loss and waste is not only a technical challenge, but a shared responsibility that demands collective action to transform agrifood systems in the Mediterranean and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
