PONER FIN AL DESPERDICIO DE ALIMENTOS EN LAS CIUDADES UNA HOJA DE RUTA PARA LA ACCIÓN BASADA EN EL CAMBIO DE COMPORTAMIENTO Y LA FINANCIACIÓN

The document examines food waste in Jayapura and Merauke, Indonesia, finding that households are the primary waste generators and that significant portions of discarded food remain edible. It highlights a 'missing middle' financing gap for infrastructure investments (USD 1-3 million) and proposes a three-phase roadmap: starting with prevention and reduction, moving to community-scale recycling (composting and Black Soldier Fly larvae), and finally investing in centralized waste management facilities.

• Households are the primary source of food waste in both Jayapura and Merauke, with a significant amount of discarded food remaining edible, indicating high potential for prevention and redistribution.
• Food waste levels vary by location, with Jayapura generating approximately 66 kg per person annually and Merauke generating around 40 kg per person annually.
• Waste management infrastructure in the pilot regions is severely limited; in Jayapura, formal collection services operate in only 3 of 19 districts, while in Merauke, services are provided in only 1 of 20 districts.
• A 'missing middle' financing gap exists for urban waste infrastructure, where required investments of USD 1 to 3 million are too large for local budgets but too small for traditional large-scale development finance.
• Behavioral change interventions showed mixed initial results: edible food waste per capita decreased by 44% in Jayapura (from 0.09 to 0.05 kg/person), but increased in Merauke (from 0.02 to 0.06 kg/person) due to seasonal mango surpluses and rice leftovers.
• The proposed implementation roadmap follows three phases: Phase 1 focuses on prevention and reduction (years 1-2); Phase 2 implements community-scale recycling and valorization, such as composting and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) bioconversion (years 2-4); and Phase 3 establishes centralized waste management facilities (years 4-7+).
