Prevention and reduction of food and drink waste in businesses and households: Guidance for governments, local authorities, businesses and other organisations
- Abstract
Think.Eat.Save: Reduce Your Foodprint was launched in January 2013, by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Messe Düsseldorf GmbH and a number of diverse stakeholders, including the UK-based Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP). The purpose of Think.Eat.Save is to raise awareness about the need to reduce food waste, as around one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally (FAO, 2011) and this has significant negative financial, environmental and social impact.
