Closing the data gap: A model for national-level food loss and waste data generation in the absence of existing data

In the UN many countries committed themselves to reduce FLW towards 20301. So-called national pathways are developed, written by governments, elaborating on how this will be established. In order to support and validate these efforts, FLW monitoring2 is required on national level. This is a complex...

Sumario:In the UN many countries committed themselves to reduce FLW towards 20301. So-called national pathways are developed, written by governments, elaborating on how this will be established.

In addition, the variety in products, supply chain links (SCLs), climatic conditions (weather, water, soil) increases the workload of any monitoring approach dramatically.
