BEIJING, Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The State Council Information Office (SCIO) held a press conference in Beijing
on the morning of September 7, announcing that the International Conference on
Food Loss and Waste, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission, National Food and
Strategic Reserves Administration, and Shandong Provincial People's Government,
and themed "Reducing Food Loss and Waste for Global Food Security", will be
held from September 9 to 11 in Jinan, capital of Shandong province.
Food loss and waste has been identified as a shared challenge of the
international community. While seeking solutions to this issue, the world
continues to suffer from the impact of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and faces
frequent extreme natural disasters caused by climate change. In this context,
the holding of an international conference on food loss and waste was proposed.
According to Li Meng, vice governor of Shandong province, the conference will
be held both online and on site, with an on-site visit activity held in the
morning of September 10 and the opening ceremony of the conference held in the
afternoon, inviting relevant leaders and representatives of countries and
international organizations to give a speech. Three thematic forums are
scheduled to be held on September 11 focusing respectively on reducing food
loss in production, reducing post-harvest food loss, and reducing food waste in
consumption. It is expected that "Jinan Initiative on International Food Loss
and Waste" will be released during the conference, and Shandong Provincial
Action on Food Loss and Waste will be launched.
The conference will be addressed online by the agricultural ministers of Italy,
the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Indonesia, and other G20 member
states, the special envoy of the United Nations Food Systems Summit, the
director-general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
The conference will be attended by ambassadors to China from 15 countries.
