International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction
International Food Loss and Waste Awareness Day is an opportunity to call for action by both the public sector (national or local authorities) and the private sector (businesses and individuals) and set priorities for action. Advance innovation to reduce food loss and waste and build better and more resilient food systems.
The International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction, celebrated on September 29th, calls for action from both public and private sectors to reduce food waste. Unilever is a major patron of this initiative, aiming to cut food waste by 50% by 2025. This day emphasizes the importance of innovations and education in food production, distribution, and consumption. Supporting food banks and charitable organizations is a key part of this strategy, contributing to sustainability and reducing the ecological footprint.
