Wageningen University & Research describes how research supports food waste reduction across the supply chain.

Cooperation across the chain

More than a hundred stakeholders collaborate through Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling. WUR contributes research, analysis and evaluation to inform decisions on reducing waste.

Turning evidence into action

Food is lost at different stages, from production to consumption. WUR therefore emphasises cooperation throughout the chain. The original story describes the Dutch effort to halve food waste by 2030.
