Tackling food waste once and for all

LOCAL and global organisations are urging Indonesia to reduce its food waste and loss to not only ensure the availability of nutritious food but also to prevent environmental degradation and financially benefit individuals and businesses.

World Resources Institute (WRI) global director for food, forests and water Craig Hanson said companies yielded US$14 (RM58) in return for every US$1 (RM4) invested in reducing food loss and waste, including by measuring waste and changing packaging.
