    Avances legislativos sobre prevención y reducción de pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos en América Latina y el Caribe 2021

    Prevenir y reducir las pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos es esencial para avanzar en la promoción de sistemas alimentarios sostenibles y lograr los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030. En particular, la meta 12.3 que busca reducir a la mitad las pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos en todas las fases de la cadena productiva al año 2030. Entre las distintas estrategias adoptadas para hacer frente a esta situación, los esfuerzos normativos desplegados por los Estados revisten la mayor importancia. Con el objeto de contribuir a estos fines, el presente estudio legislativo, relativo a los avances legislativos sobre prevención y reducción de pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos en América Latina y el Caribe, permitió constituir un repertorio regional de leyes y proyectos de ley presentados sobre la materia. El análisis de estos textos normativos ha permitido establecer un conjunto de 18 criterios de clasificación en los que se pueden organizar las diversas medidas adoptadas. Tales criterios se desarrollan a fondo en el estudio y se ilustran mediante ejemplos extraídos de la propia normativa estudiada. La información obtenida permitió sugerir recomendaciones para continuar avanzando en la lucha contra las pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos desde el ámbito normativo.

    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The 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.
