Food loss and food waste in the context of production and distribution chain sustainability
EDN: IXNDDP
Abstract
An analysis was conducted and the factors contributing to the generation of food loss and waste were systematized. Particular attention was given to the impact of these factors at various stages of the supply chain – from agricultural raw materials to final products. International experience and key measures aimed at reducing the scale of food loss and waste were examined in the context of the sustainability of production and distribution chains.
