1. Global Initiative onFood Loss and Waste Reduction Robert van Otterdijk

2. Introduction Global Food Loss and Food Waste 1.3 billion ton ( 1 300 000 000 000 kg ) 1 / 3

3. Global Initiative on Food Losses andWaste Reduction – SAVE FOOD Multi-Stakeholder Project – USD 52 million – 5 years Increased awareness on the impact of, and solutions for food loss and waste. Collaboration and coordination of world-wide initiatives on food loss and waste reduction. Research for Policy, strategy and programme development for food loss and waste reduction. Support to investment programmes and projects, implemented by private and public sectors.

4. A new strategy for food loss reduction Strategies for reducing food losses are being adjusted. Reasons: - growing influence of private sector led enterprises - global market integration - urbanization - growing south-south food trade - ‘lengthening’ of food chains.

5. A new strategy for food loss reduction • Supply chain approach - Viable business case • Sustainability of food supply chains • Feasibility / effectiveness of interventions: • technically • economically • nutritionally, food security-wise • environmentally • socially and culturally

6. Global Initiative on Food Losses andWaste Reduction – SAVE FOOD THE KNOWLEDGE GAP Magnitude of food losses in food supply chains Causes of food losses in food supply chains Importance of different causes Impact and feasibility of solutions Beneficial effect of food loss reduction

19. SAVE FOOD – Case StudiesFood Loss Assessments: Causes and Solutions B A N A N A Food loss reduction strategy 1. Training / capacity building, to add on social capital, especially for traders, processors, wholesalers, retailers. Strengthen the supply chains downstream (post-farm) 2. Shorter supply chains. Minimise handling of produce in storage and distribution systems,, Mobilisation of farmers to form marketing organisations through which traders can directly access their produce. 3. Value-added processing by specialized processing enterprises, and market development, for diversified and value-added banana products 4. Postharvest pest/ disease management plan 5. Technology, structures and equipment, at trader and wholesale level 6. National banana policy 7. Monitoring mechanism to estimate food losses
