Introduction
Food waste : The decrease in the quantity or quality of food resulting
from decisions and actions by retailers, food service providers and
consumers
Why ?
• Inefficient storage, transport
• Unsustainable consumer behaviour
• Financial and structural limitations
• Challenging climatic conditions
3
Agricultural waste: Waste that are produced as a result of various
agricultural operations
Examples:
Livestock waste : Wastes that are collected from livestock and poultry

Classification of agriculture and livestock waste
2. Food and meat processing solid wastes – bones, feathers, banana peels

Objectives and ideas to achieve these
objectives.
Objective 01
9
Objective 03 :
To ensure availability of facilities and infrastructure for
treatment and final disposal of waste in an environmental
sound manner assuring responsible, accountable and
sustainable operation and maintenance.
RRR businesses are relatively new to Sri Lanka and there could be
further financial and regulatory incentives like the existing tax
exceptions for importing renewable energy equipment.
Introduce financial schemes to attract and incentivize local
entrepreneurs to enter RRR businesses.
Infrastructure support in public markets to keep food fresh.
10
Objective 04:
To make every effort to minimize final disposal of waste by
retaining its resource utilization value throughout the life
cycle.
Link food waste agricultural waste generator and potential user
minimize final disposal and retaining its resource utilization value.
There is demand for food waste and agricultural waste as animal
feed, can be the moderator (e.g. low-cost web-based platform/phone
app) for facilitating direct producer-user linkages.
capacity development in food and agricultural waste reduction by
extend source segregation to all businesses, canteens of private and
public schools, hospitals, food courts, farming lands, animal farms
etc.
11
Objective 05 :
To enhance effectiveness and efficiencies of existing waste
management systems/practices and promote new systems for
avoidance, prevention and/or minimization of waste with
appropriate technology and practices.
Biofertilizer
vermicompost through vermicomposting
incineration or disposal in landfills
Anaerobic digestion produces biofuel in the form of biogas
Agricultural waste bin
Smart Waste Management for Smart Agriculture (SA) framework
Reduce food waste
12
• Try not to buy more food products than you need – such as to
feed animals.
• Consider investing in new technologies that can help manage
crop growth.
• Recycle any waste food where possible.
• Introduce composting to your routine.
• Consider selling surplus products in bulk at a decreased price,
instead of throwing it away.
• Donate surplus products to charities such as food banks or
homeless shelters, who will ensure the products don’t go to
waste.
13
Objective 06
To improve efficiencies and effectiveness of existing
appropriate markets, promote new markets with appropriate
innovative technologies and partnerships, and facilitate
holistic integrated waste management systems/practices.
14
Objective 07
To reduce risks to public health, environment, and
ecosystems and improve occupational health & safety of
waste handlers.
15
Objective 08
To enhance effective partnerships to meet international
obligations in waste management moving beyond compliance.
