International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste 2024 | Save the Date

Enormous amounts of resources – land, water, energy, and labour – are used to produce food. When food is lost or wasted, these resources go to waste, impacting the efficiency of food production.

The fifth observance of the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste will highlight the critical need for financing to bolster efforts to reduce food loss and waste, contribute to achieving climate goals and advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

A global hybrid event will be convened by FAO and UNEP on 27 September at 13:30 hrs CEST, at FAO Headquarters, Rome (Sheikh Zayed Centre), to mark this fifth observance. 

Registration to the event: COMING SOON.

Event agenda: COMING SOON.
