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

examines the scale and climate impact of food loss and waste (FLW) in China, estimating that 430 million tonnes of food were lost or wasted in 2024\u2014roughly 28% of total production\u2014generating approximately 500 million tonnes of CO\u2082e in carbon footprint and 185 million tonnes of CO\u2082e in methane emissions. 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. Ultimately, the paper advocates 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=\"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: Accelerating a Green and Low-Carbon Transition to Unlock Co-benefits<\/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 focuses on three key areas: nitrogen fertilizer use and nitrous oxide emissions, food loss and waste and associated methane emissions, and rural energy use and black carbon emissions from cooking and agricultural machinery. It synthesizes scientific literature, official statistics, and policy documents to quantify emissions, identify mitigation potential, and catalog the climate, health, economic, and social co-benefits of action. It finds that super pollutant mitigation offers &quot;triple-win&quot; outcomes\u2014climate, health, and socioeconomic\u2014and identifies three emerging opportunities: supportive national and provincial policies, expanding green finance and carbon market mechanisms, and the growing role of new agricultural business entities in driving technology adoption at scale.<\/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-2026-08-18-at-4.18.50-PM-768x1133.jpg\" alt=\"Agri-Food Super Pollutants Reduction in China: Accelerating a Green and Low-Carbon Transition to Unlock Co-benefits\">\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\/mapping-chinas-agricultural-methane-reduction-trends-and-local-actions\/\" 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\">Mapping China&#8217;s Agricultural Methane Reduction<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This policy brief analyzes agricultural methane emissions in China, which account for 41% of national methane emissions (primarily from livestock and rice cultivation). It quantifies the substantial mitigation potential\u2014up to 65 million tonnes CO\u2082e by 2060\u2014through 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=\"report\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/insights\/2024-annual-report-green-and-low-carbon-agri-food-system-practices-in-china\/\" 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\">2024 Annual Report Green and Low-Carbon Agri-Food System Practices in China<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This report examines green and low-carbon transition practices in China&#039;s agri-food system, focusing on the agricultural production stage where the greatest emission reduction potential lies.
