Summary per 5 dimensions of impact
Food Loss Food Waste
| 5 Dimensions of impact | What | Who | How Much | Contribution | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
To effectively manage food and organic wastes and minimize the impact on environment associated with such wastes Impact Classification - | Reduced leaching which contaminates surrounding environment (soil and water) Better waste management - less costly, cleaner, more sustainable i.e. less pressure in looking for new landfills Reduced emission of greenhouse gases from the natural degradation of organic wastes | Environment (landfills and waste disposal sites) (Direct beneficiary / There are over 120 waste disposal sites in Thailand currently with a lot more illegal dumping sites. Many landfills are faced with overloaded capacities and building more landfills does not help tackle the waste problem sustainably. ) Municipal office and other business operators that manage wastes (Direct beneficiary / Actors responsible for collecting wastes from households, offices and factories, etc. and transporting wastes to waste disposal sites. They usually charge a fee for the waste management service and have to pay fees to the waste disposal sites for dumping. ) | Scale: 2 Stakeholder
Depth: Duration: 12 Month | Reduced leaching which contaminates surrounding environment (soil and water) Better waste management - less costly, cleaner, more sustainable i.e. less pressure in looking for new landfills Reduced emission of greenhouse gases from the natural degradation of organic wastes | |
To provide a more sustainable source of protein and nutrition for the animal feed and agricultural industries Impact Classification - | Create a more sustainable food production system that doesn't affect biodiversity and harm the environment | Animal feed (aqua, poultry, cattle, pet food) industry (Direct beneficiary / Animal feed industry requires high protein feed which currently mainly comes from soy protein, fishmeal and fish oil, production of which upsets ecosystem balance and is unsustainable in the long run.) | Scale: 1 Stakeholder
Depth: Duration: 12 Month | Create a more sustainable food production system that doesn't affect biodiversity and harm the environment | |
Questions for reflection | How does the outcome maps to the SDGs and associated targets? How well does the outcome meet the needs of the stakeholders? Does the outcome fall in an acceptable range determined by societal/ecological threshold? | How can we target stakeholders more effectively based on their characteristics or problems they face? Is it necessary to segment stakeholders further to create more targeted solutions? Is it necessary to reallocate resources towards stakeholders who have the highest need or are likely to experience the largest degree of change | Does the change in outcome (depth) constitute a significant difference? Is the impact expected to last beyond the intervention period? If so, how shall we manage and monitor that? | What would have happened anyway? Did other actors help contribute to the same set of outcomes? Is it necessary to re-prioritize actions where we have the most significant contribution? | What are the likelihood and severity of the risks identified? What can be done to mitigate the risks? |
