Regenerative Agriculture

Food Waste Reduction

The third regenerative agriculture sub-pillar, food waste reduction, minimizes losses across the supply chain—from farming and storage to processing and consumption. Cutting waste improves efficiency, conserves water and energy, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane from landfills. Solutions include better storage, preservation, and supply chains, alongside consumer behavior changes. Governments, businesses, and NGOs can support this through awareness campaigns, waste-reduction policies, and investment in shelf-life technologies. Food donation programs and improved farm-level resource management also play key roles.
