During the Regional Meeting on the transformative potential of innovation and technology for reducing food loss and waste, Rene Orellana Halkyer, FAO's Regional Representative for Latin America and the Caribbean, outlines the FAO's vision to tackle significant challenges in agro-food systems. In the region, 11.6% of food is lost during production and post-harvest, while globally, 19% of food is wasted in commerce and households, affecting 153 million people facing food insecurity.
The FAO promotes a strategic agenda focused on standards, data, partnerships, and technological innovation. Countries are leveraging tools like FLAPP and Optiwaste to enhance resource use and create development opportunities. The goal is to expand successful solutions, strengthen regional cooperation, and implement sustainable policies to ensure more food reaches those in need.
