He contributes to chapters related to climate change mitigation through shifting to healthy diets and reducing food waste.
Here are some of the recommendations:
“However, potential varies across regions and may be influenced by technical, financial, and cultural barriers, and governance, accountability and institutional capacity”, Abu Hatab adds.
