    The State of Food and Agriculture 2019
    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.

    The Panels of Experts to the FAO Programme for the Control of African Animal Trypanosomiasis and Related Development met in Rome from 1 to 3 December, 1993, to advise the Organisation on Technical, Ecological and Development aspects. The working papers produced by individual experts formed the basis for deliberation. They are reproduced here, in full, in the hope that they will be equally" useful to those engaged in this specialised field and with its implication on agricultural development and natural resource utilisation in Africa. Une réunion du Groupe d'experts du Programme FAO pour le contrôle des trypanosomiases animales africaines et la mise en valeur des zones concernées s'est tenue à Rome du 1 au 3 écembre 1993 en vue d'examiner les aspects techniques, écologiques et de développement en relation avec le programme. Les débats qui ont eu lieu se sont basés sur les documents de travail préparés par les experts qui y ont pris part à la réunion. Ces documents sont intégralement reproduits dans ce rapport. Il est permis d'espérer qu'il seront utiles pour les personnes engagées dans ce domaine spécialisé et ses implications sur le développement de l'agriculture et l'utilisation des ressources naturelles en Afrique.
