A world where resources are used sustainably. This is our vision. And this plan tells you what we will do to get there.

An interim report on work exploring how farmers can be supported to collaborate in measuring food surplus and waste and identifying production efficiencies.

Prepared by the World Bank and WRAP on behalf of the government of Mexico, the Conceptual Framework brings together the data on food loss and waste in Mexico for the first time, painting a compelling picture of the current situation an creating a framework for action.

Unsustainable production and consumption of food constitutes one of the biggest environmental threats to our planet. Eliminating food loss and waste to the largest extent possible – at all stages from producer to consumer – stands out as an urgent and indispensable step towards more sustainable food systems.
