Speed Dating for SDG12.3: How Philanthropy Can Catalyze National Action on Food Loss and Waste

Food loss and waste is a key contributor to the climate crisis. Ambitious multi-sector and multi-stakeholder solutions are needed to achieve SDG12.3 - to halve food loss and waste (FLW) by 2030 - and deliver nutrition security. Philanthropy can play a critical role in catalyzing these solutions and delivering meaningful local action.

This event covered how and where philanthropic action can be meaningful and showcased meaningful examples from Kenya, Ethiopia, Indonesia, USA and Mexico. Interesed philanthropies and solution providers were invited to join us for 30 minutes ‘speed-dating’ to discuss questions of ‘where and how can we partner’ to deliver SDG12.3

This event was hosted by the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU) in partnership with WRI, Champions12.3, WRAP, ReFed, Bezos Earth Fund, IKEA Foundation and Roberston Foundation.
