ONE\THIRD Information

ONE\THIRD is a think tank on food loss and waste established by the Danish government in 2019. We bring together research institutions, public authorities, companies and organisations to advance efforts to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 on reducing food loss and waste. The purpose of ONE\THIRD is to strengthen the overall Danish efforts in relation to the reduction and prevention of food waste and food losses, including by bringing together representatives from the entire food value chain from farm to fork, relevant authorities and researchers, etc. to create a basis for cooperation across the food value chain. The think tank accelerates the link between knowledge and real actions, mobilizes companies to take greater social responsibility, and together with the rest of Denmark provides a platform for food loss and waste awareness and initiatives. The think tank is rooted in a solid Danish tradition, where solutions are developed in collaboration between the private sector, public sector and experts. The basic philosophy is that the most effective and durable solutions to society’s major challenges are developed jointly by the community's leading actors and without distinction of individual interests. ONE\THIRD is an independent institution under the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (www.fvm.dk). It is governed by a board, and operated by a secretariat within the ministry. // Debate and comments are most welcome on our page. However, we encourage you to stick to the topic of the postings.
