SDG12 Responsible Consumption & Production for Agriculture

May 27, 2020 08:00 PM in Beijing, Shanghai

An estimated 1/3 of all food produced (1.3 billion tons worth around $1 trillion) ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices. According to the United Nations, substantial environmental impacts from food occur in the production phase (agriculture, food processing), and households influence these impacts through their dietary choices and habits.
In this SDG event, we invite agriculture experts to hear about experiences and learn how we consumer can take action to help!

Join this session to learn:

- The latest strategies and actions from FAO on sustainable food production, responsible consumption, and inclusive food system under the context of Covid-19.
- How consumer behaviors, routines, and habits influence food carbon footprint.
- What small action can we take as a consumer?
