The analysis draws on field research and interviews with practitioners, cooperatives, and local agencies. It identifies key drivers\u2014policy support, technological innovation, financing, capacity building, and multi-stakeholder participation\u2014and provides recommendations for scaling practices through strengthened policies, infrastructure, and market mechanisms.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span2\">Suggested citation:<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span3\">Institute for Global Decarbonization Progress (iGDP).

quantitatively examines the scale and climate impact of food loss and waste (FLW) in China. It analyzes the uneven distribution of FLW across supply chain stages and food types, highlighting that while vegetables account for the largest share of losses, livestock products carry disproportionately high emissions intensity. The paper reviews China&#039;s evolving policy landscape, including the Anti-Food Waste Law and cold chain development initiatives, while identifying critical gaps in data infrastructure, sustainable cold chain coverage, and consumer behavior interventions. It explores the dual role of cold chain logistics\u2014reducing post-harvest losses while contributing significant energy-related and refrigerant emissions\u2014and assesses the potential of business innovations, public engagement, and food waste valorization to mitigate FLW. The paper calls for integrating FLW reduction into climate governance frameworks, proposing four priority pathways: establishing systematic FLW data systems, advancing sustainable cold chain solutions, strengthening circular utilization of food waste, and promoting green consumption patterns to unlock a cost-effective, high-potential climate mitigation opportunity.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Working Paper<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">JUN 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-768x1084.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-768x1084.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-1088x1536.jpg 1088w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM.jpg 1132w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cenews.com.cn\/h5hjb\/news\/news.html?id=1758469\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">The \u201cHidden Carbon Footprint\u201d Behind Our Plates: Food Supply Chain Emission Reduction Is Imperative<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">At the meeting, expert representatives from sectors such as cold-chain logistics, carbon management, and the food industry discussed the key challenges in reducing emissions along the supply chain and explored pathways for transformation that deliver both environmental benefits and economic value.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Interview<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">DEC 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a-768x499.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a-1024x665.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a-1536x998.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/1112\u755c\u79bd\u4f4e\u78b3\u517b\u6b96\u7684\u521b\u65b0\u8def\u5f84\u4e0e\u6311\u6218\u7ebf\u4e0a\u8ba8\u8bba\u4f1a.png 1672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/insights\/agri-food-and-super-pollutants-reduction-in-china-accelerating-a-green-and-low-carbon-transition-to-unlock-co-benefits\/\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">Agri-Food Super Pollutants Reduction in China<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This policy brief analyzes reduction opportunities for &quot;super pollutants&quot; (methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, black carbon, and ground-level ozone) from China&#039;s agri-food system. It focuses on three key areas: nitrogen fertilizer use and nitrous oxide emissions, food loss and waste and associated methane emissions, and rural energy use and black carbon emissions from cooking and agricultural machinery. It synthesizes scientific literature, official statistics, and policy documents to quantify emissions, identify mitigation potential, and catalog the climate, health, economic, and social co-benefits of action. It finds that super pollutant mitigation offers &quot;triple-win&quot; outcomes\u2014climate, health, and socioeconomic\u2014and identifies three emerging opportunities: supportive national and provincial policies, expanding green finance and carbon market mechanisms, and the growing role of new agricultural business entities in driving technology adoption at scale.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Policy Brief<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">NOV 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-768x1133.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-768x1133.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-694x1024.jpg 694w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-1041x1536.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report examines green and low-carbon transition practices in China&#8217;s agri-food system, focusing on the agricultural production stage where the greatest emission reduction potential lies.
