BACKGROUND
The Volume/Accumulation of Food Loss and Waste in Indonesia
Food Loss & Waste in Indonesia reached 23 to 48 million tons per year between 2000 and 2019, equal to 115 to 184 kilograms per capita annually. This amount represents the loss of 29 to 47 percent of the energy needed to feed the population. Food Loss & Waste also generated approximately 1,702.9 megatons of CO₂e emissions and caused economic losses estimated at Rp 213 to 551 trillion each year.

Indonesia still lacks comprehensive regulations that address food waste. The Surplus Food Rescue Foundation was established to advocate, support, and empower communities in becoming part of the solution to this urgent issue.
