Resumen
Descripción
The report focuses on the role that food
loss and waste (FLW) could play in reducing the
environmental footprint of food systems while attempting to
meet the caloric and nutrient needs of a population expected
to increase by 3 billion people in the next 30 years. The
performance of the global food system over the last century
has been extraordinary. From a global population of 1.6
billion people in 1900 to nearly 8 billion in 2020, the
agri-food sector has risen to the challenge of providing
global caloric sufficiency, mainly by increasing yields of a
few principal staple crops. However, this path is no longer sustainable.
