 Food is never waste, and food should never be lost or wasted. Now is the time to join forces, tackle multiple SGGs, transform our food systems. Please join us in preserving the costly value of food for everyone on this planet. Food is never waste. Around a third of all the food that is produced around the world is either lost or wasted each year. This is equivalent of 1.3 billion tonnes of food. This equals to more than a trillion dollars every year. A huge waste of nutritious food, healthy lives, happy children and economic value. How can it be that we waste so much food when one in ten people go to bed hungry every day? We have to realise that for food to be produced anywhere in the world, a high amount of natural resources is needed. Land and water and energy, 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, all for food that never makes it to the plate. Household food waste is a global problem, not just an issue in developed countries. Consumers can try to minimise waste by only buying what they need and using what they buy. Most important is to be aware of the value of food. Farmers lose too much of the value of their crop. Better technology, storage, cold chain and technical assistance can help to make our own families food secure and to preserve the work of our own hands. Investment in reducing food loss and waste makes value chains more efficient and therefore improves the business case. Reducing food loss and waste is a bankable proposition. It is difficult to see how we could achieve meaningful transformation to more sustainable food systems without reducing food loss and waste. That is why the United States strongly supports the Food is Never Waste Coalition. We must reduce food loss and waste. Sweden has developed a new method for measuring food losses in primary production and in the food industry. It will provide more knowledge and information on how we can reduce food loss. Food loss and waste reduction is a triple win. More food of better quality, better use of our resources and better environment. In order to achieve this, we need to work together and to build a multi-stakeholder partnership with data, skills, innovation, science and the involvement of all the players along the agri-food systems. Now it's time to combine our efforts and support a transformation to achieve this triple win. Let's work together.
