Descripción
A smooth logistics process is vital for any food supply chain. Developing the necessary technical knowledge, building capacity on logistics systems to ensure agile and eff ective supply chains, and improving preparedness to emergencies are all key success factors for actors who are committed to supporting rural livelihoods. To address these challenges, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Kühne Foundation partnered in 2014. Th e purpose of the collaboration was threefold: • to improve humanitarian logistics (the process of training, planning, implementing, and controlling the cost-effi cient fl ow and storage of goods and materials); • to enhance preparedness and logistics related to Level Th ree emergencies (where support is mobilized across the entire humanitarian system); and • to optimize food supply chains and food loss reduction, contributing to achieving the goals of FAO projects in food logistics and food loss and waste reduction.
