Iniziativa per Ridurre gli Sprechi Alimentari Lanciata dalla FAO

On December 10, 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) announced the launch of an ambitious global initiative aimed at drastically reducing food waste across production, distribution, and consumption stages.

This initiative, dubbed “Zero Waste, Zero Hunger,” seeks to mobilize governments, private sectors, and non-profit organizations to commit to reducing food waste by 50% by 2030.

The FAO's announcement was made during a high-profile conference in Rome, Italy, where delegates from over 100 countries gathered to discuss sustainable food systems as part of the ongoing efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This waste not only exacerbates global hunger but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

In conjunction with the launch, the FAO unveiled a series of guidelines designed to help countries develop national food waste reduction programs.

Alongside this initiative, major food-sharing app platforms committed to facilitating food redistribution efforts, promising to enhance their services to connect surplus food with local charities and consumers in need.

This groundbreaking move by the FAO is seen as a critical step in the global fight against hunger and environmental degradation, promoting a sustainable future where food resources are utilized more efficiently.
