3. Business decisions impact food loss and
waste.

4. Businesses connect the dots… or not.
Environmental
Sustainability
E.g., Water, Land,
GHGs
Economic
Sustainability
E.g., producer
Incomes
FLW
Social Concerns
E.g.,
Food/Nutrition
Security
Most major food
companies are
committed to
reducing FLW,
but they are
measuring other
commitments to
sustainability.

7. Systems informed decision making is
required to transform food systems.
 How we decide on grand strategy
 How we decide day to day

8. My
questions
for you…
How Might We…
▪ Collaborate across silos to see
systems more clearly?
▪ Illuminate the hidden linkages
and drivers of food systems
challenges?
▪ Demonstrate systems
leadership in supply chains?
Doing it? Please get in touch!

9. Thank You!
