This report is a resource to provide APEC member economies information on reducing waste and enhancing resource efficiency in the food chain.  Various policies and practices on food loss and waste reduction are represented and include perspectives from multiple APEC member economies.  The goal of the report is to provide a sampling across the APEC region and give policymakers a sense for what to consider when developing and implementing public policies to reduce food loss and waste. 

The report analyzes specific types of food loss and waste reduction policies and compiled a list of 30 interactive websites and general resources used in the development of the report (those available in English language as of November 2021).
