To this end the target calls for supportive policy, legislative or regulatory frameworks to be put in place and for education and access to relevant and accurate information and for alternatives to be improved.

Humanityโs use of biological resources continues exceeding Earthโs capacity to regenerate them. This global consumption footprint must be reduced for the 2050 Vision. However, this reduction must occur equitably. Currently, some areas of the world are disproportionately impacting the global footprint of consumption while others are consuming resources at far lower rates. Similarly, in some regions, food consumption will need to increase significantly to ensure that other societal objectives, such as eliminating poverty and hunger, can be reached. Ensuring that consumption patterns equitably remain within biological limits is essential to living in harmony with Mother Earth.

This target specifically calls for food waste to be reduced by half. Reducing food waste can provide multiple benefits to reach societal objectives associated with biodiversity, climate change, the elimination of hunger and poverty.
