Each year, a substantial amount of food loss (FL) is generated at the primary production stage; FL have negative impacts on the society, contributing to food insecurity, depleting the environment, generating avoidable GHG emissions and creating pressure on land and water. Currently, key challenges hampering the reduction of FL are: regulatory challenges(e.g., exclusion of FL in the EU Commission Decision 2019/1597), technical challenges (e.g., lack of common measurement methodology, lack of cost-effective measurement tools), scientific challenges(e.g., lack of understanding of drivers) and social challenges(e.g., lack ofskills of the differentstakeholdersinvolved). FOLOU is willing to contribute in overcoming these challenges, being the main objective of the project to set up the necessary mechanisms to: (i) measure and estimate (robust and harmonized methodology), (ii) monitor and report (national and EU FL registries), and (iii) assess the magnitude and impact of FL. Additionally, FOLOU will also work to assure the appropriate knowledge transfer and adoption of the project outcomes by the key targeted stakeholders: primary producers, retailers, consumers, policy makers and researchers. FOLOU will structure its activities in a comprehensive action plan revolving around four levers of change: 1#Understanding by working on collecting and curing FL available data, by working on understanding the drivers behind food losses and by assessing the impact of these losses; 2#Measuring by developing new cost-effective tools for the measurement/estimation of FL and a robust and harmonized methodology; 3#Training by providing tailored trainings to different stakeholders; 4#Adopting by preparing recommendations and creating a twinning programme. With a duration of 4 years, FOLOU gathers 16 multidisciplinary partners from 10 countries joining forces around a common challenge: Preventing and reducing the amount of food intended for human consumption that is eventually lost.

每年，大量的粮食损失（FL）产生于初级生产阶段; FL对社会产生负面影响，导致粮食不安全，消耗环境，产生可避免的温室气体排放，并对土地和水造成压力。目前，阻碍减少FL的主要挑战是：监管挑战（例如，在欧盟委员会第2019/1597号决定中排除FL），技术挑战（例如，缺乏共同的衡量方法，缺乏具有成本效益的衡量工具），科学挑战（例如，缺乏对驱动因素的了解）和社会挑战（例如，所涉及的不同持牌人缺乏技能）。FOLOU愿意为克服这些挑战做出贡献，因为该项目的主要目标是建立必要的机制，以便：（一）衡量和估计（健全和统一的方法），㈡监测和报告（国家和欧盟FL登记），以及（iii）评估FL的程度和影响。此外，FOLOU还将努力确保适当的知识转让和主要目标利益攸关方（初级生产者、零售商、消费者、决策者和研究人员）采用项目成果。FOLOU将围绕四个变革杠杆在一个全面的行动计划中组织其活动：1 #通过收集和处理可获得的粮食流失数据，通过了解粮食损失背后的驱动因素和评估这些损失的影响来理解; 2 #通过开发新的具有成本效益的工具来测量/估计粮食流失和一个强大而统一的方法来测量; 3 #通过为不同利益攸关方提供量身定制的培训进行培训; 4 #通过编写建议和创建结对方案进行采纳。FOLOU为期4年，聚集了来自10个国家的16个多学科合作伙伴，围绕一个共同的挑战：预防和减少最终损失的供人类消费的食物量。
