As the world prepares for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, tackling sustainable food systems and Food Loss & Waste (FLW) are critical for both food security and climate action. This webinar brings together WPO, UNIDO and FSSC to discuss a systemic approach to sustainable food systems and impact on climate change. The session will focus on actionable strategies to reduce food loss and waste (FLW) at both government and industry levels.
