Pinpoint has provided a variety of services to introduce, advise and offer training on the World Resource Institute's (WRI) Food Loss & Waste reporting protocol, including:
Client: WWF South Africa
Pinpoint was contracted to undertake a streamlined evaluation of WWF-South Africa's Resource Smart Food Initiative. The aim of the review was to ascertain the achievements of intended ambitions, and recommendations for future work and/or strengthening. The evaluation assessed the programme against performance, focus, niche positioning for impact, viability and value to WWF national and international criteria.

Client:
Environmental Learning Research Centre (ELRC), Rhodes University
Funder: United Nation's One Planet Sustainable Lifestyles & Education (SLE) Trust Fund
The aim of the 1st phase of the project was to develop and trial a cell phone app in South Africa through which surplus food is traded. Another key component was the setting up of communities of practice around which the app could be tested and adopted. Pinpoint managed a project partner team of 8 organisations, and provided an advisory role on food loss and waste. The 2nd phase of the project aims to increase uptake, and further develop the app's functionality.
Visit www.foodforus.co.za for further information or to download the app. The 1st phase project report is available here.
Client: WWF South Africa
Funder: United Nation's One Planet Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Trust Fund
WWF-SA commissioned Pinpoint to examine seafood consumption trends, associated consumer behaviours and recommendations to inform their Sustainable Seafood Initiative's (SASSI) consumer campaign. The research formed the basis of a wider United Nation's Environment One Planet Sustainable Food System's project.

Pinpoint was commissioned by UDA Consulting as part of their research team to understand the scale of consumer and hospitality food waste in Islamic states.

Client: Feedback Global, UK
Funder: The Rockefeller Foundation
Pinpoint undertook research to identify on-farm and pack house food waste associated with fresh produce exported from South African farms to the UK and United States. Evidence was gathered to assess the scale of the issue, how and why food waste arises, and documented solutions. The study forms part of a series of global case studies published by Feedback Global on the causes of food waste in international supply chains. A copy can be downloaded here.
Client: WWF South Africa
Pinpoint adapted and trialled the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Food Loss & Waste Protocol on the retailer Woolworth's spinach supply chain. Outputs included a methodology which is suitable for South African use to determine where in a supply chain food loss and waste occurs, the volumes and why. A summary of findings was presented in Woolworth's 2016 Annual Integrated report, and as a case study in WWF's Food loss and waste: Facts and futures report, which can be downloaded here.
