Reducing #FoodLoss & #FoodWaste means protecting the health of our one & only planet.

[UN University - EHS @UNUEHS]

Nature-negative activities undermine themselves.

When ecosystems fail, food systems, water security & livelihoods fail too, especially for vulnerable communities.

Nature is not a cost. It’s an asset.
