Diagnosis on Food Loss and Waste in Catalonia

18/08/2023

The Catalan Government and the Waste Agency of Catalonia keep going on generating knowledge about Food Loss and Waste Prevention.

This year, The Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda Department of the Catalan Government (DACC) and the Waste Agency of Catalonia (ARC) have arranged three diagnosis of food loss and waste in different food commodities: pig (meat sector), milk and pike (fish sector).

The aim of these studies is to quantify food loss and food waste along the food chain, during the food commodity campaign. Therefore, the main causes of food loss and waste in each food commodity studied are identified and the economic and environmental impacts are assessed. What’s more, the most appropriate prevention measures are collected for each link to avoid food loss and waste.
