Webinar: Limiting food loss and waste in South-East Asia throughout the value-chain
Sign up to eventDid you know that over 800 million people go hungry every day, while nearly 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted annually? That’s enough to feed the world’s hungry population four times over. In Southeast Asia, where the population is projected to grow by 12% by 2035, addressing food waste is not just important—it’s urgent. South and Southeast Asia accounts for 25% of the global food waste and more than 50% of Southeast Asia’s waste is food waste.

Join us on October 2 for a powerful webinar as we dive deep into how we can reduce food loss and waste throughout the value-chain. Food Nation is hosting the webinar in honor of UN’s International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction – with a particular focus on the critical need for financing to bolster efforts to reduce food loss and waste.
