Food Recovery To Avoid Methane Emissions (FRAME) Methodology

Kumari Sonali

Food Recovery To Avoid Methane Emissions (FRAME) Methodology:

According to estimates based on data from a new methodology termed as Food Recovery to Avoid Methane Emissions (FRAME) each food bank reduces the same volume of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions as removing 900 gasoline-powered cars from the road for a year.

  • Food Recovery to Avoid Methane Emissions (FRAME) Methodology quantifies the avoided emissions and co-benefits from redirecting food loss and waste to direct human consumption, through food recovery and redistribution operations.
  • It is developed by the Global Food Banking Network (GFN) in partnership with the Global Methane Hub and the Carbon Trust.
  • The FRAME initially began as a pilot project in Mexico and Ecuador, where six community-led food banks were analysed.
  • The new FRAME tool will allow food banks, food recovery organisations, private sector companies, scientific experts and others working in the food loss and waste sector to be able to accurately measure and manage emissions from food recovery and redistribution.
