Some Republican policymakers either don’t understand or care that SNAP benefits are so low that people can only afford unhealthy food because it’s cheap, quick, and easy to prepare. Instead of increasing benefits for healthy food, they’re making it harder for people to exist. ualrpublicradio.org/local-regi #uspol #foodpolicy

654 Millionen Menschen leben in extremer #Armut. Aber wie viele weitere Menschen auf der Welt können sich keine angemessene #Ernährung leisten?

Von unserer Universität geleitete Forschungen zeigen, dass dies bei den derzeitigen Armutsmetriken übersehen wird, obwohl es langfristige gesundheitliche Folgen hat. Tatsächlich sind Milliarden von Menschen davon betroffen: uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html

Latest episode: Food facts are not the answer to fear of foods

“What kind of food system do we want for the future? What kind of questions should we be asking? Whose questions matter? What kind of questions matter and what kind of expertise is considered relevant?”

Charlotte Biltekoff, author of Real Food, Real Facts: Processed Food and the Politics of Knowledge, on how industrial food and real food talk past one another.

As recently as half a day ago 🤓 I made my point that praising the #FoodIndustry for their #FoodWaste solutions makes little sense, because creating #ZeroWaste during their production process should be the default expectation in a #CircularEconomy.

federate.socialTünde Nagy-Bántó (@tundenagybanto@federate.social)♻️ #ZeroWaste I do not want to spend time on showing examples from the #ManufacturingSector how they reduce or eliminate #FoodWaste. My expectation towards #IndustrialPolicy and #CircularEconomy is that in the future the #FoodIndustry will not be allowed to create any waste: every by-product will have to be used up to produce something else. SMEs should receive help from the government to share and spread best practices, and to find #upcycling partners who can use their waste as raw materials.

#UN Environment Programme published an important report: Food Waste Index Report 2024

Key takeaways:
- we waste more than 1 billion meals per day (that's a crazy number!)
- #FoodWaste is responsible for 8-10% of our #GreenhouseGas emissions (another mind-boggling figure!)

Definitely worth downloading and reading it (or at least read the summary): unep.org/resources/publication

UNEP - UN Environment ProgrammeFood Waste Index Report 2024To catalyse essential action towards reducing food waste and achieving SDG 12.3, it's imperative to grasp the extent of food waste. Measuring food waste allows countries to comprehend the magnitude of the issue, thereby revealing the size of the opportunity, while establishing a baseline for tracking progress. The Food Waste Index Report 2021 marked a pivotal moment in understanding global food waste across retail, food service, and household sectors. It unveiled a greater availability of food waste data than anticipated, particularly at the household level, and revealed that per capita household food waste generation was more consistent worldwide than previously thought. The Food Waste Index Report 2024 builds upon its predecessor in three key ways: Firstly, it incorporates vastly expanded data points from around the world, providing a significantly more robust global and national estimates, detailed in Chapter 2 of the main report. Secondly, it expands on the SDG 12.3 food waste measurement methodology introduced in the 2021 report, offering enhanced guidance on measurement across retail, food service, and household sectors. This additional guidance delves into various methodologies, their strengths and limitations, and strategies for prioritising sub-sectors for measurement, as explored in Chapter 3. Lastly, the report transitions from focusing solely on food waste measurement to exploring solutions for food waste reduction. The chapter examines effective approaches to reducing food waste globally, with a spotlight on public-private partnerships in this 2024 report.
