Pilot exercise to compile Sustainable Development Goal Subindicator 12.3.1.a

Measuring and monitoring the sub-indicator SDG 12.3.1.a Food Loss Index is complex and requires several data collection efforts to cover the various food groups and their stages along the food supply chain. Consequently, it is extremely important to evaluate options for how countries can optimize their resources and food loss measurement strategy based on their information needs and available resources. This technical report is the result of joint efforts by FAO and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico (INEGI) to conduct a desk study to compile the SDG 12.3.1.a Food Loss Index in Mexico.
