Transforming it is therefore critical to meeting China's climate goals and broader sustainable development objectives. iGDP tracks, analyzes, and evaluates green, low-carbon policies and practices in China's agri-food system. We bring together policymakers, researchers, civil society, farmers, and businesses to identify and scale up practical solutions. Through policy research, quantitative analysis, workshops, and field studies, we address key issues such as climate-resilient agriculture, sustainable food supply chains, and reducing food loss and waste. Our goal is to build an inclusive, climate-resilient agri-food system that contributes to rural revitalization, food security, and China's \"dual carbon\" goals.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div

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<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Working Paper<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">JUN 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\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\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-768x1084.jpg\" alt=\"Reducing Food Loss and Waste\">\n\t<\/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<li data-igdp-resource-type=\"interview\">\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<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<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Interview<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">DEC 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\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\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/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\" alt=\"The \u201cHidden Carbon Footprint\u201d Behind Our Plates: Food Supply Chain Emission Reduction Is Imperative\">\n\t<\/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<li data-igdp-resource-type=\"policy-brief\">\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<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 quantifies the substantial mitigation potential through measures such as improved irrigation, adoption of low-emission rice varieties, and anaerobic digestion of livestock manure. The analysis combines national-level emission analysis, county-level spatial mapping identifying five provinces that account for one-third of total agricultural methane emissions, a systematic review of provincial methane control action plans (nine provinces as of October 2025), and case studies of on-the-ground practices in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Jiangxi. It also catalogs the multiple co-benefits of mitigation, including water savings, reduced fertilizer costs, and improved agricultural productivity.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Policy Brief<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">NOV 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\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\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.48.15-PM-768x1093.jpg\" alt=\"Mapping China&#8217;s Agricultural Methane Reduction\">\n\t<\/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<li data-igdp-resource-type=\"interview\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceh.com.cn\/ep_m\/ceh\/html\/2025\/08\/30\/04\/04_59.htm\" 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 Green and Low-Carbon Transition of the Agriculture and Food System Requires Coordinated Efforts Across the Entire Supply Chain<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">Currently, various regions have launched a wide range of initiatives focused on the low-carbon transition of the agriculture and food systems and have achieved some success. However, the process of green and low-carbon transition faces challenges such as insufficient technology dissemination and a lack of coordination across the industrial chain. Experts suggest that efforts should be made on multiple fronts\u2014including technological innovation, financial support, and coordination across the entire industrial chain\u2014to facilitate the
