Resumen
Descripción
Food losses and waste represent a serious depletion of technical, financial and natural resources invested in land preparation, production, harvesting, handling, processing and packaging of food. Measures for reducing food loss and waste must, therefore, be environmentally sustainable while contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of food supply chains and fostering food and nutrition security. Food loss takes place between production and distribution, while food waste takes place mainl y at the consumer level, in the retail and food service sectors. This flyer gives a brief overview of FAO initiative on food loss and waste.
