7 Food Production and Losses FAO Global food losses and food waste Extent, causes and prevention. Rome

8 Dairy Production and Losses! For all developing regions, waste of milk during post-harvest handling and storage, as well as at the distribution level, is relatively high. FAO Global food losses and food waste Extent, causes and prevention. Rome

9 Findings and Guideline Losses are highest at pre- and post harvest stages in developing countries underscoring the need to focus on packaging solutions and concomitant farm to market support infrastructures required at these stages of the value chain. Products generally represent greater resources and have a much higher inherent value than the packaging used to protect them. Thus, product losses due to underperforming packaging could cause greater adverse effects on the environment than the gains made through packaging reduction. Knowing what the losses are as well as when, where and how they occur can help pinpoint solutions, packaging included, to minimize them. In the same manner, knowing which packaging solutions are available, currently and in the future, is a crucial first step in addressing food loss.
