Resumen
Descripción
This publication aims to help policy-makers, project designers and field practitioners to conceptualize
the nexus between gender equality and food loss while offering practical guidance on and tools for
integrating gender concerns into the planning and implementation of food loss studies and reduction
strategies and interventions.
By linking key concepts from gender-sensitive value chain development and the issue of food loss, it
emerges that gender inequalities affect the overall efficiency of the food value chain and generate a poor
performance that may cause produce to be removed from the chain. The publication provides critical
information and entry points for food loss reduction interventions that improve the way women and men
participate in and benefit from food production.
