Fostering Friends of Champions 12.3 in India
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 seeks to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Specifically, the Target 12.3 under this goal calls for halving per capita food waste at the retail and consumer level while also reducing losses along food production and supply chains by 2030. This target is essential for enhancing food and nutrition security, improving the income levels of both food producers and consumers, and reducing impacts on land, water, and air.

While highlighting the importance of collaborative action amongst multiple stakeholders, it will share empirical insights from the ground on management of food supply chains and food businesses, and lastly deliberate on potential solutions for managing food loss and waste in India.
