Abstract:
Globally, food systems produce about 24% of the greenhouse-gas emissions that are responsible for 60% of terrestrial biodiversity loss, as well as being the main cause of 33% of soil degradation. Food loss in large quantities is undoubtedly one of the significant global problems affecting our food security, as well as the worlds sustainability development position. Yet countries around the world, especially in developing regions, do not consider this issue seriously due to the absence of a comprehensive view regarding its effect globally. Therefore, the integration of FSC (food supply chain) actors efforts to reduce food loss becomes a persistent need in order to tackle this problem through different tools along the supply chain. As for practical implications, this paper presents key aspects of this global issue which will allow the decision-makers in food companies to develop their understanding, so as to frame a new performance measurement system and diagnose their activities in the context of food loss reduction.
