WPO confirms participation in Save Food, an initiative from United Nations
World Packaging Organization (WPO, worldpackaging.org) just confirmed its participation in the Save Food, a project initiated in 2010 by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a branch of the United Nations (UN), which aims to fight against the world hunger through avoiding food wastage.
The goal of the initiative is to bring together stakeholders from business, politics, research and not-for-profit organizations, thus encouraging constructive dialogue in the search for solutions to curb food loss along the food chain. In practical terms, the central idea of the project is to mobilize stakeholders to help reduce food loss and waste world-wide through partnerships. As part of this process, packaging is fundamental to keep and guarantee the product quality throughout the supply chain until it reaches populations that suffer with hunger.
