Municipalities
Find your stage in 8 areas, get your next three steps, and compare your province with others.
City Food-Waste Policy Exchange
Every city's food waste is different. So is the answer.
Data, guidance and tools for municipalities — and a clear picture for investors and residents. Pick your city, see where it stands, test a policy, and follow what cities actually do.
The structure follows AQMx, the UN air-quality platform run by the UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition. Atikova is not part of AQMx and the UN does not back this page; we use UN methods (UN-Habitat Waste Wise Cities, SDG 11.6.1 and 12.3) and cite them.

Residents
Understand where your city's food waste goes and what helps most at home.
How it works
- Guidance: 8 areas, each with 5 stages, from 'getting started' to 'leading'.
- Self-assessment: pick the sentence that fits your city and get your next steps.
- City profiles: 81 provinces — 13 with measured waste rates, the rest modelled.
- Simulator: test fines, rewards and inspections with an evolutionary game model.
- Tracker and library: what cities have done, with sources, and the papers worth reading.
Built with AI agents
Atikova's AI research agents read official pages, papers and news, model all 81 provinces, write the guidance in four languages and keep the tracker current. Every figure links to a public source; anything modelled is labelled.
What helps most at home
- Plan meals and buy less, more often — prevention beats every plant.
- Keep food scraps apart from packaging; wet scraps ruin recyclables.
- Ask your district about organic collection or a bokashi kit.
- Give surplus food to a food bank before it spoils.
