SDG Target 12.3 on Food Loss and Waste: 2024 Progress Report is the ninth in an annual series of updates assessing the world’s progress toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 12.3. SDG 12.3 aims to, “by 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Prepared on behalf of Champions 12.3, this publication seeks to inform decision-makers in government, business, academia, and civil society about recent advances and what remaining steps need to be addressed if the world is to achieve the target. Previous progress reports (2016–23) can be found on our Publications page.
