eC2: Estimating GHG Impact from Food Losses
Deadline: 23-Sep-2019 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.) 
IFC developed an easy to use excel based tool/calculator that that can quickly and conservatively estimate the GHG emissions associated with wasting a ton of agricultural produce. The purpose of this task is to further develop this platform by adding more countries, more crops, and a baseline for crop losses in the different developing countries under consideration. This can help identify and promote investments that would reduce agricultural food losses and associated GHG emissions.
