Future Action Plan and Toolkit Idea

APEC/ ATCWG&PPFS Multi-Year Project “Strengthening Public-Private Partnership to Reduce

Food Losses in the Supply Chain”(M SCE 02 2013A)

APEC Seminar on“Strengthening Public-Private Partnership to Reduce Food Losses in the Supply Chain”

5-8 August, 2013, Taipei

OUTLINE• Background• Objectives• Implementation

– Phase I~III– Information Platform (Data, Method, Tools) – Survey (Stocktaking, Capacity Building)

• Participants– Project Overseers– Focal Point Network

Increasing Population

Excessive Food Losses

Pressure on Food Supply

Enhancing Public-Private Partnership

FAO estimates world’s population will grow to 9.1 billion people by 2050

Increase of food supply may not satisfy the demand of human

need.

UN’s research reveals one-third of food for human consumption was wasted globally, about 1.3 billion ton per year

It is vital of importance to strengthen Public-Private

Partnership (PPP) to reduce food losses

Phase I (2013)

Establish a Focal Point Network (FPN)

Study the current status and key issues of post-harvest food losses

in the APEC region

Hold a seminar with on reducing food losses on food crops

Build a solid foundation for future project

implementation

Formulate a methodology of food losses assessment,

Establish a toolkit and dataset

7

Phase II (2014-2016)

• Fruit and vegetables in 2014

• Fishery and livestock products in 2015

• Food losses & wastes issues occurred on the food consumption in 2016

Annual seminar

• Trace and monitor the progress of applications

• Improve the methodology, and enriching the toolkit and dataset

• modify and extend the methodology of food losses assessment on other types of food

Continuous Actions
