Pada rantai sektor pangan, seluruh sektor bisnis berpotensi menghasilkan susut dan sisa pangan (SSP). Data menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 33% makanan yang diproduksi secara global hilang atau terbuang, menurut FAO pada 2019. Menanggapi hal tersebut, Indah Budiani, Direktur Eksekutif IBCSD, dalam sambutannya menekankan pentingnya sektor bisnis dalam menangani masalah SSP yang semakin mendesak. “Susut dan sisa pangan bukan hanya masalah lingkungan, tetapi juga merupakan tantangan ekonomi besar. Sebagai sektor yang berperan penting dalam rantai pasok pangan, bisnis memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengurangi dampak SSP ini. Kami berharap workshop ini dapat menjadi wadah untuk berbagi solusi dan mendorong aksi yang lebih terstruktur dari sektor bisnis dalam mengatasi masalah ini,” ujar Indah.

 Acara ini merupakan bagian dari kegiatan GRASP 2030 (Gotong Royong Atas Susut dan Sisa Pangan di 2030), sebuah inisiatif perjanjian sukarela yang bertujuan mengurangi Susut dan Sisa Pangan (SSP) melalui kolaborasi antara sektor swasta, pemerintah, dan masyarakat. Angelique Dewi, Chairwoman GRASP 2030, menyoroti peran penting GRASP 2030 dalam menciptakan kolaborasi lintas sektor. “GRASP 2030 adalah inisiatif yang mengajak berbagai aktor multipihak dalam rantai pangan untuk berkolaborasi dalam mencapai pengurangan SSP. Kami percaya bahwa melalui kolaborasi yang erat dan dukungan bersama, kita dapat mengurangi susut dan sisa pangan secara lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan di Indonesia,” jelas Angelique.

 Workshop ini menghadirkan berbagai narasumber dari sektor pemerintah, bisnis, serta aktor penyelamat pangan untuk berbagi pengetahuan, praktik terbaik, dan solusi inovatif. Acara ini juga memberikan ruang untuk diskusi yang lebih mendalam tentang regulasi, kebijakan, dan strategi yang diperlukan untuk mendorong sektor bisnis dalam mengurangi SSP.

Yuvlinda Susanta, Wakil Ketua Umum APRINDO, menegaskan peran penting sektor ritel dalam upaya pengurangan SSP. “Sektor ritel, sebagai bagian dari rantai pasok pangan,  sejatinya memiliki kekuatan untuk memengaruhi perilaku konsumen, mengoptimalkan manajemen inventaris, dan menerapkan solusi inovatif untuk meminimalkan sisa dan susut pangan pangan. APRINDO ikut mendorong kerja sama dengan berbagai pihak dalam upaya mencapai efisiensi dan pengurangan SSP tersebut,” ujar Yuvlinda.

Bappenas mencatat bahwa di Indonesia, 115-184 kg pangan per kapita terbuang tiap tahun. Ini memicu kerugian ekonomi hingga Rp 551 triliun, emisi GRK 7,29% dari total nasional, dan hilangnya nutrisi untuk 125 juta orang. Hal ini semakin menekankan pentingnya sektor bisnis mengambil langkah konkret dalam mengatasi SSP. Dalam acara ini, pentingnya perusahaan di sektor pangan memiliki target penurunan SSP, melakukan pengukuran, serta menyusun strategi penurunan SSP melalui pendekatan Target-Menghitung-Aksi (Target-Measure-Act/TMA) disampaikan oleh Michael Jones, Senior International Partnership Manager WRAP.

Untuk itu, workshop ini juga akan memperkenalkan Metode Baku Perhitungan Susut dan Sisa Pangan yang disusun dan diluncurkan oleh Koalisi Sistem Pangan Lestari (KSPL) bersama para mitranya, Badan Pangan Nasional (BAPANAS), dan Kementerian PPN/Bappenas pada 24 September 2024 silam. “Kompleksitas permasalahan pangan yang kita hadapi saat ini hanya dapat diatasi dengan gotong royong dari seluruh pihak, termasuk sektor bisnis. Metode Baku Perhitungan SSP ini akan memungkinkan sektor bisnis mengidentifikasi jumlah SSP yang mereka hasilkan, menentukan target penurunan, mengembangkan strategi dan kebijakan, dan pada akhirnya berkontribusi nyata untuk mengurangi  SSP dari kegiatan bisnisnya,” jelas Gina Karina, Kepala Sekretariat KSPL. Sesi penyampaian metode baku perhitungan ini dipandu oleh mitra KSPL, Eva Bachtiar yang merupakan Pendiri dan CEO Garda Pangan.

Melalui workshop ini, IBCSD berharap adanya kolaborasi yang lebih kuat antara GRASP 2030 dan seluruh mitra di sepanjang rantai pangan dalam mengatasi masalah SSP. Dengan kontribusi aktif semua pihak, Indonesia diharapkan dapat mencapai target pengurangan SSP dan menciptakan sistem pangan yang lebih lestari.

–  Conduct a thorough analysis of Indonesia’s low-carbon sectors to identify areas with high investment and financing potentials, such as renewable energy (solar, wind, and hydropower), sustainable forestry, electric mobility, and energy-efficient infrastructure.

–  Assess market needs and gaps in financing across identified low-carbon sectors. This includes assessing current investment flows, identifying underfunded areas, and showing opportunities for private sector involvement in line with Indonesia’s climate targets and commitments.

–  Assess financial, operational, and regulatory risks associated with low-carbon investments in Indonesia. Consider currency fluctuation risks, regulatory uncertainty, market readiness, and technology risks.

• Evaluating the typical barriers and risks associated with low-carbon investments including regulatory, market, technology, and operational risks and the potential Return on Investment (ROI) for different low-carbon projects, that can show the profitability and long-term gains.
• Identifying current investment and innovative financing opportunities to step up business adoption in low carbon development initiatives.
• Providing recommendations on financing mechanisms and strategy for mobilizing private capital for green projects that can support low-carbon development and other important enabling recommendations that can accelerate investment in low carbon initiatives. These recommendations need to be presented in a matrix mentioning a list of existing problems (barriers), proposed recommendations specifically related to these problems/ barriers, and relevant actors/ stakeholders to engage.

–  Analyze reports from any national industry associations that detail sectoral trends, challenges, and opportunities on LCDI at national and sub national level.

–  Consider market reports and investment analyses that highlight the private sector’s role in LCDI and also reports from organizations such as the World Bank, International Energy Agency (IEA), and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) that provide insights into low-carbon development trends and best practices.

–  Consider available academic articles, research papers, books, and references in Indonesia, issued by other institutions that discuss the role of the private sector in low-carbon development, focusing on case studies, innovative practices, and theoretical frameworks.
