Overview

Friends of Champions 12.3 India Network brings together like-minded companies and organizations to align their efforts and build collaborative agenda for reducing food loss and food waste in India. Friends of Champions 12.3 India network is led by WRI India with support from FOLU India. It works towards spearheading actions that can help reduce food loss and food waste through multi-stakeholder collaborations and leadership from governments, businesses, and civil society in India. The Network aims to inspire ambition and mobilize action across food supply chains, continuing the global movement led by Champions 12.3 for achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 12.3 by 2030.

As SDG 12 seeks to ensure sustainable consumption and food production patterns, Target 12.3 under this goal calls for halving per capita food waste at the retail and consumer level while also reducing food losses along food production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030. The Friends of Champions 12.3 Network in India aims to operationalize the Champions 12.3 strategy via a three-pronged approach Target-Measure-Act focusing on policy, practice and partnerships and engages with network members to:

• Provide a platform for learning and exchange of ideas, best practices, innovations and experiences
• Crafting actionable plans towards fulfilment of SDG 12.3 target 2030
• Support the monitoring of progress and find ways to scale up action
• Foster collaborations and partnerships for inclusive and sustainable development
• Support development and implementation of ideas and actions for sustainable food systems
