Target Goals

This project focuses on Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which aims to reduce waste and promote sustainable use of resources.

One of the most important targets is Target 12.3, which focuses on halving global food waste at retail and consumer levels by 2030 (United Nations, 2015, p. 22). This target is directly linked to household food waste because several families inadvertently waste food due to poor food planning, over-purchasing, and misunderstanding food labels. Reducing food waste at home can therefore play an important role in achieving this universal target.

Another important target is Target 12.5, which aims to reduce waste production through prevention, recycling, and reuse (United Nations, 2015, p. 23). In households, this can include better meal planning, using leftovers, proper food storage, and composting food scraps.

This project will aim to raise awareness and develop practical solutions that facilitate families to reduce household food waste, supporting global efforts to achieve SDG 12 and promote more sustainable lifestyles.
