| Recipient / Target Areas | South Africa |
| Project Code | none |
| Objective / Goal | The voluntary food loss and waste agreement is a call to South African food manufacturers, distributors and retailers to commit themselves to prevent and reduce food waste. Given that South Africa’s retailers sell approximately 80% of the food consumed in the country, they sit at a critical point in the value chain to influence changes to reduce some of the food waste South Africa generates each year. |
| Partners | Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA); Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) and the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) and was co-funded by the European Union through the SA-EU Dialogue Facility. |
| Activities | Through international insights and expertise, collaborative dialogue and grassroots research, this dialogue series has evolved into the successful launch of a multi-sectoral voluntary agreement on managing food waste in South Africa from farm to fork. |
