The Global Action plan has been elaborated and agreed upon by the IYFV International Steering Committee (ISC). The activities included in this plan have been developed along the four main lines of action for the year: 1. Advocacy and Awareness Raising; 2. Knowledge Creation and Dissemination; 3. Policy Making; and 4. Capacity Development and Education.
This publication takes readers on a journey introducing them to a diverse array of fruit and vegetables through colourfully illustrated studies from around the world. It justifies the importance of these crops and it encourages readers to take an active role both in promoting fruit and vegetable production and in encouraging more people to eat them.
This background paper outlines the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, but also examines the various aspects of the fruit and vegetable sector from a food systems approach: from sustainable production and trade to loss and waste management. This paper provides an overview of the sector and a framework and a starting point for discussion for the Year, highlighting the interlinkages of stakeholders and key issues to be considered for action during the IYFV.
This toolkit consists of a series of educational materials designed to educate young people to value food and reduce its loss. The goal is to raise awareness among school children, educators, and their families and networks on food loss and waste issues and introduce good practices conducive to food waste reduction. This education package consists of different modules that can be used by teachers in class and to plan lessons and activities.
The Activity Book series for young people touches on key topics, such as celebrating food heroes, nutrition, reducing food loss and waste, climate change, and plant health. They serve as an educational tool for teachers, parents, students or anyone who wishes to learn more about important global issues and how to take action and create a more sustainable world.
