ACT: Designing FLW Interventions

There are many FLW reducing interventions that have proven to reduce, mitigate and revalorize food losses. To obtain real impact on your FLW investments, you need to design FLW interventions guided by evidence-based insights for your specific situation.

Designing FLW interventions requires some insight into the current state of FLW. Most importantly you will want to know at what stage FLW occurs, why it occurs and how much FLW is occurring within the specific value chain, product group, or country that you are focusing on.  

This section of the Food loss solutions website provides an overview of tools and methodologies that can be used to assess any FLW issue at hand and design sustainable, effective, and impact-driven FLW interventions. In addition, you will find a template in this section that can be used to formulate key elements of your FLW reducing interventions and to identify any missing pieces of information that are required to formulate an effective intervention. 

Four categories of methodologies and tools

To help you find suitable tools and methodologies to design your effective FLW interventions the subsite provides an overview of four types of distinct tools and methodologies, namely:

  • Methodologies to assess a FLW issue at hand and design effective FLW interventions.
  • Methodologies to assess the impacts and trade-offs of FLW and FLW reducing interventions.
  • Tools to guide the design of partnerships for effective FLW interventions.
  • Methodologies to design effective FLW revalorization interventions.
