Through dynamic discussions, the Global Food Pact Network agreed on three key areas for future collaboration:
1. Increasing the profile of food waste reduction initiatives globally and within individual in-country pacts.
2. Collaborating to accelerate change and improve efficiency in delivering impact across all food pacts.
3. Demonstrating impact across the network to strengthen funding opportunities for continued collaboration.
The in-person Global Food Pact Network event in Mexico created concrete opportunities for impactful collaboration in tackling food loss and waste. Participants emphasized starting with simple activities, such as sharing case studies, best practices, and relevant templates, to strengthen the profile of each national pact through online platforms or direct engagement based on individual needs and opportunities.
Additional collaborative opportunities include enhancing strategic functions such as data collection and measurement, sector collaboration, and unified knowledge sharing across the network. Standardized and consistent data collection and reporting are expected to be key priorities. Sector collaboration, particularly in hospitality, offers opportunities to leverage relationships and build connections with global organizations that share markets.
Finally, the network aims to present a unified voice and utilize shared resources and tools to accelerate change and enhance efficiency in delivering impact.
