About one third of the food produced globally is wasted along the food chain, representing a burden for the environment and an inefficiency of the food system. Tackling food waste is a priority on the global political agenda to guarantee food security. Defining a methodology for food waste quantification is key to monitoring progress towards the achievement of reduction targets. This paper summarises the outcomes of a workshop on food waste accounting co-organised by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and Directorate-General on Health and Food Safety with the aim of stimulating harmonisation of methodologies, identifying challenges, opportunities, and further advancement for food waste accounting. The paper presents methodological aspects, e.g. system boundaries, reliability of data, accounting of water flows, to ensure better support to food waste policy design and interventions. It addresses all the actors of the food supply chain, governments, and research institutions.
全球生产的食物约有三分之一在食物链中被浪费，这对环境造成了负担，也体现了食物系统的低效。解决食物浪费问题是全球政治议程上的一项优先事项，以保障粮食安全。定义食物浪费量化方法是监测实现减少目标进展情况的关键。本文总结了由欧盟委员会联合研究中心与健康和食品安全总司共同组织的一次关于食物浪费核算研讨会的成果，目的是促进方法的统一，识别食物浪费核算面临的挑战、机遇以及进一步的发展方向。本文介绍了方法学方面的内容，如系统边界、数据可靠性、水流核算等，以确保更好地支持食物浪费政策设计和干预措施。它涉及了食物供应链的所有参与者、政府和研究机构。
