On 8 September, Ambassador Lars Bo Larsen shared Denmark’s contribution to food waste reduction during the official launch of GRASP 2030, which is an initiative led by Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD), Waste Resource Action Program, and Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals 2030.

Such strategic plans includes the creation of the think tank One\Third, innovation in food value chain, retail and consumption, packaging, processing ingredients in the dairy sector, as well as primary production and supply chain infrastructure and being a decisive factor the collaboration between business, consumers, communities and public authorities.

“Denmark continues to pursue its ambition on reducing food loss and waste and wants to encourage and support their Indonesian partners to address the issue towards achieving sustainable business practices and green goals,” the Embassy states.
