Outlining progress made in the first year of the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap.

Find out about the many fresh produce businesses that have signed up to the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap, and are taking targeted action to reduce waste in their own operations.

The Courtauld Commitment Water Ambition progress report sets out:

• The physical, commercial and reputational risks facing UK food and drink businesses linked to water needs in their supply chains.
• Steps businesses can take to reduce their exposure to water risks.
• A ready-made framework of collective action projects in key sourcing locations which supply more than 2/3 of the UK’s vegetables (excluding potatoes) and 1/3 of the UK’s fruit.

An estimate for food surplus and food waste in primary production in the UK.

A platform to share and collate data on food loss, waste and surplus in primary production, on a sector-by-sector basis, including context about the quality of the data, variability, crop type and country.

This is a list of food surplus and food wastepercentage rates across a range of agricultural sectors. The aim is tohelp farmers understand average, high and low performance in their sectors. The data is taken from the WRAP report Food waste in primary production in the UK.

Unlocking the full economic and environmental benefits of waste reduction and resource efficiency in the food and drink supply chain requires a rapid transition to a more sustainable food system. More efficient production and wasting less will help, but we should also consider the sustainability of the food we eat, sell and serve.

Pulses, grains and vegetables require fewer resources and generate less greenhouse gas emissions than other food types, and are therefore cornerstones of sustainable eating.

This review highlights the core achievements and impact of the Courtauld Commitment 2025 2017-18. It demonstrates that work is taking place across the food and drink chain, from ‘farm to fork’, in support of the agreement’s targets.

Food surplus and waste measurement and reporting guidelines

WRAP and UK food businesses have agreed common guidelines for measuring and reporting on food surplus and waste, consistent with the global Food Loss and Waste Accounting and Reporting Standard (FLW Standard).

These have been produced in support of the UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap – to help the UK meet the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3 and the Courtauld Commitment 2030 target to halve food waste by 2030.
