Our latest one-pager examines the urgent need to tackle food waste at every stage of the supply chain and provides clear guidance on how to calculate the GHG emissions associated with food loss and waste. It also provides clarification on where to find data on both food-specific and destination-specific emission factors. This resource is designed to empower companies to reduce waste and make progress toward climate goals.
