Homera joins Champions 12.3 movement against food waste
/Puerto Rico based Homera has become the latest company to join Champions 12.3, the leading global movement fighting food waste around the world. Formed in late 2015, the initiative is an offshoot of the United Nations decision earlier that year to pursue 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. Goal 12 seeks to "ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns," and the third target within that goal, or 12.3, calls for cutting in half the per capita food waste generated globally at the retail and consumer level, including food losses along production and supply chains and post-harvest losses, all by 2030.

Three months after joining Friends of Champions 12.3, we bring you an update not just of some of the initiatives this marvelous food-waste organization is engaged in, but also a bit of our thinking on what and how to leverage Champions to boost the food-waste movement in our own LatAm region. You'll recall from our November 9th post, when we joined, that 12.3 is the target within Goal 12 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals that seeks to slash food waste around the world at a clip of 50% by 2030. We'll soon be touring the Americas, and championing 12.3 will be on the agenda.
