This new standard will provide a framework including terms and definitions around food loss and food waste to provide a consistent, national approach across the food value chain. The new standard will also provide guidance on measurement and characterization of food waste and loss, data collection and monitoring, and the evaluation of the associated environmental impacts (such as GHG emissions), to help provide quantifiable, comparable information. Application of consistent terminology and measurement is intended to assist organizations with benchmarking and the adoption of leading practices to reduce food waste and loss, as well as supporting upcycling through circular bioeconomy business models.
