Book Synopsis The Economics of Food Loss in the Produce Industry by : Travis Minor
Download or read book The Economics of Food Loss in the Produce Industry written by Travis Minor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food loss is a serious issue in the United States. It affects all aspects of the supply chain, from farmers to consumers. While much is already known about loss at the consumer level, our understanding of the amount of food that never makes it to this stage is more limited. The Economics of Food Loss in the Produce Industry focuses on the economics of food loss as they apply to on-farm produce production, and the losses that are experienced early. The book both analyses current food loss literature and presents new empirical research. It draws lessons from those who have encountered these issues by focusing on how past regional or national estimates of food loss have been conducted with varying degrees of success. It includes chapters on several themes: understanding food loss from an economic perspective; efforts to measure food loss; case studies across commodities within the produce industry; and economic risks and opportunities. The commodity case studies provide detailed discussion of factors impacting changes in loss levels within the produce industry, and a wealth of knowledge on strategies and contexts is developed. The book concludes by identifying critical knowledge gaps and establishing future priorities. This book serves as an essential reference guide for academics, researchers, students, legislative liaisons, non-profit associations, and think tank groups in agriculture and agricultural economics.
Book Synopsis Post-Harvest Losses and Wastage in Indian Fresh Agro Supply Chain Industry by : Saurav Negi
Download or read book Post-Harvest Losses and Wastage in Indian Fresh Agro Supply Chain Industry written by Saurav Negi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain loss in the post-harvest management of agri produce is one of the major determinants of the food problem in most developing countries. However, food wastage is not good for two main reasons: firstly, there may be a material loss in terms of energy protein and other nutrients; and secondly, there may be an economic loss in terms of the value of food. The major concern for fresh Agro Supply Chain Management is the post-harvest wastage. India, the world's second-largest fresh agro producer and one of the centers of origin of fresh agro produce, is also one of the biggest food wasters in the world--wasting lots of fresh agro produce (fruits and vegetables) every year. The challenge of feeding India's billion plus people is not really about agriculture and food production but getting the good quality food to the people at the right time. According to various studies and literature available, the most susceptible food category to a lack of cold storage is fruits and vegetables where annual wastage is very high. Controlling the levels of waste is beyond the capability of individual farmers or consumers. The problem is wider and involves various issues in the supply chain of fresh agro produce. In the present study, the authors have carried out a detailed and extensive literature review available on the supply chain of fresh agro commodity and discussed the existing position, the supply chain losses and wastage problems encountered in the agricultural products with special reference to perishable agro produce, i.e., fruits and vegetables. The authors have also identified some of the major reasons for the losses and wastages in the logistics and supply chain of fresh agro produce.

Book Synopsis Deconstructing food losses across the value chain by : Delgado, Luciana
Download or read book Deconstructing food losses across the value chain written by Delgado, Luciana and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of reducing food loss and food waste has captured the public imagination since it became one of the targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The urgency of this issue and the awareness of its significance to the development community has been growing steadily. Even so, policies to address food insecurity or the increasing pressure on the world’s available land that is being caused by growing populations and changing diets have aimed mainly at increasing agricultural yields and productivity. These efforts are often cost- and time-intensive and do not consider food loss and waste reduction as a tool to help meet growing food demand; nor do they consider food loss reduction as a means to ease pressure on land. Food loss also entails unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and excessive use of scarce resources including land (FAO 2019); thus, policies to reduce food loss will also benefit the environment. Finally, cutting food loss can help disadvantaged segments of the population, as the loss of marketable food can reduce producers’ incomes and increase consumers’ expenses. Most of the literature uses the terms postharvest losses (PHL), food loss (FL), food waste (FW), and food loss and waste (FLW) interchangeably, but they rarely refer consistently to the same concept. Recent publications (FAO 2014, 2019; HLPE 2014; Lipinski et al. 2013) have tried to clarify this by defining FL as unintentional reductions in food quantity or quality before consumption, that is, from the producer to the wholesale market, inclusive. These losses usually occur in the earlier stages of the food value chain—between production and distribution. This definition, however, does not include crops that are lost before harvesting or are left in the field; nor does it include crops that are lost due to poor harvesting techniques or sharp price drops; nor crops that are not produced because of a lack of adequate agricultural inputs, such as fertilizer, or because of a shortage of available labor. In 2019, the FAO developed the Food Loss Index (FLI), following the definition of food loss mentioned above. According to the FLI, an estimated 14 percent of food produced is lost every year. The major losses are in Central Asia and Southern Asia (20.7 percent), as compared to sub-Saharan Africa, which experiences a 14 percent food loss (FAO 2019), and Latin American and the Caribbean where 11.6 percent is lost. When examining losses in terms of food groups, the highest level of loss is reported in roots, tubers, and oil-bearing crops, followed by fruits and vegetables. It is not surprising that fruits and vegetables incur high levels of loss (more than 20 percent) given their highly perishable nature.
