Possible Approaches for Reducing Food Loss and Waste

Production Handling and Processing and Distribution and Consumption

Storage Packaging Market

 FL&W Diagnosis
Developing Countries
• Lack of investment in farm
equipment (harvesters,
threshers, etc.)
• Lack or even absent packaging
at farm before distribution
• Lack of cold chain infrastructure
• Low levels of processing
Source: FAO, 2011
Developed Countries
• Supply>demand
• High expectation of ‘quality
standards appearance’
• Failure to comply with food safety
standards
• Lack of understanding on date
marking rules
 Remedies
Developing Countries
Capacity development
Shorter supply chains
Creating value added
Investment in technology,
structures and equipment
Monitoring mechanism
Source: FAO, 2011
Developed Countries
Farmers’ communication and
collaboration
Reducing food miles
Adherence to food safety and
standards
Date marking rules improvement
(best-before and use-by dates)
Understanding consumer behavior
through consumer survey
