The Global Farm Loss Tool

World Wildlife Fund| Source  | DataGuide

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Tesco's report, "Driven to Waste”, unveils the fact that an estimated 2.5 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally each year, surpassing previous estimates. Approximately 40% of all food produced goes uneaten, with significant losses occurring on farms. This waste not only squanders nutrients and food but also contributes about 10% of all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.

To address food loss throughout the supply chain, WWF has developed the Global Farm Loss Tool (GFLT) in collaboration with various organizations. This tool enables farmers to measure and report on-farm losses, as well as fosters communication between farmers and buyers in finding solutions for surplus produce. By filling data gaps and providing insights into global farm losses, the GFLT also aims to support governments and experts in devising effective policies to reduce food loss. Compatible with existing reporting standards, the GFLT also aids buyers in meeting food waste and climate commitments. This collaborative effort underscores the crucial role of measurement in addressing food waste and building a more sustainable food system.
