FAO NEWS 26/9/2024Food loss and waste reduction, measurement and policyFood loss and waste reduction should be seen as a means towards achieving other objectives, including improving food security and nutrition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering pressure on water and land resources, which contribute towards increased productivity and economic growth. The formulation of effective policies to achieve food loss and waste reduction requires comprehensive information as to how much and where – both geographically and along the supply chain – various foods are lost or wasted. The work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on measurement, and its support to countries in taking action to reduce food loss and waste, is critical in tracking progress made by countries.
This Technical Platform on Food Loss and Waste contributes to the Food is Never Waste Coalition, which was established as a result of the United Nations Food Systems Summit in September 2021.
It’s a picture full of jarring contrasts. Shiny, late-model refrigerated trucks full of fruit pull up at the loading bays at supermarkets in some parts of the world. Elsewhere, farmers cultivating hillside fields load baskets of produce on their heads to get to the one road leading to the nearest trading station or market.
The transportation process, a critical point in fresh fruit and vegetable supply chains, contributes significantly to the 13 percent of the world’s food losses that occur between harvesting and retail. To address this challenge we need to approach the whole system of transportation and come up with tailored solutions.
Here are four transportation considerations and possible solutions to reduce food loss:
Inefficient transport systems are a major factor leading to unacceptable levels of loss, especially of foods rich in vitamins and other nutrients. Therefore, tackling this challenge in an integrated way is a critical area of work for FAO and its partners - for the benefit of people and planet.
