Supportive Policy Environment
Policy is a driving force behind loss and waste reduction and creates the necessary incentives to adjust behaviour that results in food loss and waste (FLW).
Policy related to a wide range of issues can influence FLW in the fish value chain. For example, policy regarding the following can build the foundation needed to prevent and reduce FLW:
- Fisheries and aquaculture
- Food safety
- Health
- Environment
- Poverty reduction
- Waste and recycling
- Infrastructure and services
- Gender equality and social welfare
- Youth development/employment
- Credit and savings
- Climate change
- Food security & nutrition
- Importation of equipment
- Small medium enterprise development
