Global Food Loss and Waste in Primary Production: A Reassessment of Its Scale and Significance

Global statistics on food waste were first reported by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 2011, and since that time, more attention has been given to food waste measurements at the consumer, retail and hospitality stages, whilst efforts to quantify losses during primary producti...
