The project had a global reach through a dynamic web-based Community of Practice (CoP) on the food loss reduction (FLR) platform that facilitates access to knowledge, as well as activities at the national level in three countries: Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The UN RBA joint project has supported the reduction of food loss in selected grain value chains in each of these countries and implemented a multidimensional approach designed to effectively tackle the interrelated causes of food losses. -

Food losses are prevalent in developing countries owing to poor handling of the produce from the field through to the market place. Food waste is food that is thrown away even though it is still suitable for human consumption. Food waste is prevalent in developed countries, but is a growing problem in developing countries. Food loss and waste squander resources, including water, land, energy, labour and capital. The Food an d Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched the Save Food Initiative in 2011. Under the banner of this initiative, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific launched a region-wide campaign - the Save Food Asia-Pacific Campaign - on 28 August 2013 during a high-level multi-stakeholder consultation in Bangkok, Thailand. This report provides the outcome of the proceedings. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMainstreaming food loss reduction initiatives for smallholders in food deficit areas 2017The RBA Project is jointly implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP). Funded by the Government of Switzerland, the Project seeks to improve food security and income-generating opportunities through the reduction of post-harvest losses in supported grain and pulse value chains. The Project identified critical loss points, and supported the piloting of good practice s and solutions to reduce post-harvest losses and improve handling and storage in the pilot countries Burkina Faso, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The Project will also support the development of regulatory frameworks covering policy, standards and norms to reduce food losses in food supply chains in each of the countries.
