Under Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production), one of the targets is to reduce per capita food waste at the retail and consumer levels by:

Sustainable Development Goal 12 sets a target to halve, that is cut by one half, per capita global food waste at retail and consumer levels by 2030.

Reducing waste by three fourths overstates the agreed target.

Cutting it by one third understates the level actually set.

Reducing it by only one fourth is far below the goal's ambition.

The same target also seeks to lower food losses along production and supply chains.

Goal 12 as a whole promotes responsible consumption and efficient use of natural resources.
