Overview:
On-farm food loss and waste are estimated to be 16% of the total agricultural-related greenhouse gas emissions globally, and reductions in these emissions can significantly impact climate change. This narrative review critically overviews the current research landscape on farm food loss and waste. The study has two objectives. Firstly, it provides a stock-take of on-farm food loss and waste definitions, quantification methods, causes and management options. Secondly, it gives researchers, policymakers and industry stakeholders recommendations on pursuing opportunities.
