The interventions include
- Connecting various stakeholders for support and amplifying the impact through donations, resources, and technical knowledge sharing.

In line with the above activities, CII FACE is planning for a virtual stakeholder engagement session in Delhi. The session will also have the food industry and NGOs sharing their experiences of food donation and distribution. Panel discussions around the role of industry towards food safety in the country and opportunities and challenges in minimizing food safety risks and food wastage are planned. The panel will have representation from various stakeholders from food industry, NGO partners, international food bank to discuss the ways of minimizing food safety risks and food wastage leading to an action plan for this resource centre in the process. The objective is to come up with a structure for a uniform Code of Conduct for food donation along with International Food safety standards for international and domestic trade in the country as the means for prevention of food wastage.
