Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste

In developing countries food
gets lost due to:
- Poor production planning
- Production problems
- Premature harvesting

Prevention:
- Organizing small farmers
- Diversifying and upscaling production and marketing

Improving the efficiency of the food supply chains

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste
Poor storage facilities, packaging and lack of infrastructure
cause postharvest food losses in developing countries.

Prevention: investment in infrastructure, packaging and
transportation.

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste

Unsafe food is not fit for human consumption and is lost.

Prevention: develop knowledge and capacity of food
chain operators to apply safe food handling practices.

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste
Lack of processing facilities causes
high food losses in developing
countries.

Prevention: improve investment climate for agro-industry
develop contract farming linkages between processors and
farmer

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste
- Large quantities on display and a wide range in
industrialized countries.
- Inadequate market systems in developing countries.

Prevention: Marketing cooperatives and improved
market facilities.

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste

Small and medium scale food industry
in developing countries has no access
to good quality packaging materials
and technology

Prevention:
- Pre-packing and contract
packing
- Use of reconditioned 2nd hand
packaging machinery

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste
In industrialized countries food gets lost when production
exceeds demand.

Prevention: Communication and cooperation between
farmers.

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste
High ‘appearance quality standards’ from supermarkets for
fresh products lead to food waste.

Prevention: - Consumer surveys by supermarkets.
- Sales closer to consumers.

Causes and Prevention of food losses and waste

Abundance and
consumer attitudes lead
to high food waste in
industrialized countries.

Prevention:
Public awareness

Good agricultural practices (gap)

Somali Youth Agriculture Association

Good agricultural practices (GAP) are voluntary guidelines for produce farmers to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses through safe and sustainable farming methods. The guidelines are based on the FDA's recommendations for minimizing microbial hazards in fresh produce. As more people consume fresh produce and foodborne illness outbreaks associated with produce have increased, some large buyers now require vendors to be audited by a third party to certify they follow GAPs. Modern agriculture focuses on conservation and renewability of resources like traditional agriculture extracts, in order to support overall economic development through effective population and environmental resource management.

You can help cut acrylamide in your diet 1113

oncoportal.net

The document discusses acrylamide, a chemical that can form in some foods during high-temperature cooking like frying and baking. Acrylamide has been found to cause cancer in animals. While it's not possible to completely eliminate acrylamide from the diet, the FDA provides some tips consumers can follow to help lower their acrylamide intake, such as frying foods for less time and to a lighter color and roasting bread to a light brown rather than dark brown. The FDA also recommends adopting a generally healthy diet as outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Recovery and redistribution

FAO

Camellia Bucatariu is an international policy development consultant for the Rural Infrastructure & Agro-Industries Division (AGS) at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This document discusses recovery and redistribution of safe and nutritious food for human consumption. It provides context on global food security and sustainable development goals. Large amounts of food are lost or wasted annually, impacting natural resources, poverty, and hunger. Recovery and redistribution models aim to prevent waste by receiving safe, nutritious food and redistributing it to those in need. Effective strategies are needed across supply chains in developed and developing countries.

Global initiative on food loss and waste reduction

IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development

The document discusses global food losses and waste and strategies to reduce them. It notes that approximately 1.3 billion tons of food, worth around $1 trillion, is lost or wasted globally every year. This amounts to roughly one third of all food produced for human consumption. The document outlines causes of food losses and potential prevention strategies. It then introduces the Global Initiative on Food Losses and Waste Reduction called SAVE FOOD, which aims to study the issue and implement solutions through regional studies, awareness campaigns, and partnerships. The FAO and IFAD are collaborating on the initiative to jointly support efficient food supply chains.

Reducing Food Waste at Home

Niamh Headon

This document provides information on reducing food waste in Ireland. It notes that Ireland wastes over 300,000 tonnes of food each year, with 60% considered avoidable waste. Reducing food waste by just 1 kilogram per week for 50,000 people could save over €1 million. The document offers tips for reducing waste at each stage of the food supply chain and provides recipes and ideas for using up leftovers and imperfect produce to help households reduce the amount of food they throw away.

The document discusses the global initiative SAVE FOOD, which aims to reduce food loss and waste. It notes that 870 million people currently face hunger while natural resources are diminishing. SAVE FOOD was established in 2011 by FAO and Messe Düsseldorf to raise awareness and facilitate collaboration on solutions. It takes a holistic approach and has developed a standard methodology to identify critical loss points using disaggregated data from case studies in countries like Kenya and Indonesia. Multiple organizations are working with SAVE FOOD to synergistically address the issue of food waste reduction worldwide.

FAO

This document summarizes food losses and waste in Europe and Central Asia. It finds that in developed countries, most food losses and waste occur during distribution and consumption, while in developing countries losses are higher during production and post-harvest stages. The main causes include lack of resources and technologies, management issues, and inconsistent consumer demand and quality standards. Some countries are addressing this through public awareness campaigns, food banks, improved technologies, and support for local markets. Further options proposed include investment in upgrades, skills training, and measures to reduce losses in distribution and consumption.

5.2 Food production and consumption system in Europe

Utttam Kumar

The document summarizes key aspects of the European food production and consumption system, including: 1) It has become highly industrialized and globalized, with power concentrated in few large companies and retailers. 2) This system relies heavily on fuel, causes environmental issues like biodiversity loss and pollution, and unsustainable meat production. 3) Ensuring sufficient, healthy food for a growing population in a sustainable way is a challenge, as current consumption levels in many places are too high. Fair trading relationships along the supply chain are also important socio-ethical issues.

Save and Grow

Seeds

This document discusses the challenge of sustainably intensifying crop production to meet growing global food demand. While the Green Revolution dramatically increased yields, intensive agriculture has also depleted soils and resources. To double production by 2050 as populations rise, sustainable approaches are needed that produce more using the same land area while conserving ecosystems. This new paradigm is called sustainable crop production intensification.

Food waste management

Food waste management

somsub

Food waste is a significant global issue, with up to 1/3 of all food produced wasted. In India, around 67 million tonnes of food is wasted annually, valued at around 92,000 crores. Major causes of food waste include lack of infrastructure for storage and processing in developing countries and appearance-based consumer standards in developed countries. Addressing food waste could help feed millions of undernourished people worldwide and provide significant economic and environmental benefits. New technologies and initiatives are working to reduce waste and recover food at all stages of the supply chain.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them

Aggregage

https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs. In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs. Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will: • Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples • Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals • Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals • Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address • Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

“After being the most listed dog breed in the United States for 31 years in a row, the Labrador Retriever has dropped to second place in the American Kennel Club's annual survey of the country's most popular canines. The French Bulldog is the new top dog in the United States as of 2022. The stylish puppy has ascended the rankings in rapid time despite having health concerns and limited color choices.”
