  • Session Number: MFRF4

Description

You can’t manage what you don’t measure, which is why collaborations like the Pacific Coast Food Waste Commitment are so important in the fight against food waste. Structured in a pre-competitive framework, the PCFWC works with food businesses to collect and analyze data to identify food waste hotspots and to provide a roadmap of solutions. It’s an example of governments, nonprofits, and businesses working together to achieve their sustainability goals. Attendees will learn the impacts of food waste reduction, the importance of data collection and reporting, and how peer collaborations like the PCFWC can accelerate progress.
