2. Food waste matters - A systematic review of household food waste practices and their policy implications

   Karin Schanes, Karin Dobernig, Burcu Gözet · 2018 · Journal of Cleaner Production · 1,362 cites

   In recent years, food waste has received growing interest from local, national and European policymakers, international organisations, NGOs as well as academics from various disciplinary fields. Increasing concerns about food security and environmental impacts, such as resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions attributed to food waste, have intensified attention to the topic. While food waste occurs in all stages of the food supply chain, private households have been identified as key actors in food waste generation. However, the evidence on why food waste occurs remains scattered. This paper maps the still small but expanding academic territory of consumer food waste by systematically

3. The rise of blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chains

   Andreas Kamilaris, Agusti Fonts, Francesc X. Prenafeta‐Boldú · 2019 · Trends in Food Science & Technology · 1,261 cites

   Blockchain is an emerging digital technology allowing ubiquitous financial transactions among distributed untrusted parties, without the need of intermediaries such as banks. This article examines the impact of blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chain, presents existing ongoing projects and initiatives, and discusses overall implications, challenges and potential, with a critical view over the maturity of these projects. Our findings indicate that blockchain is a promising technology towards a transparent supply chain of food, with many ongoing initiatives in various food products and food-related issues, but many barriers and challenges still exist, which hinder its wider

4. Consumer-Related Food Waste: Causes and Potential for Action

   Jessica Aschemann‐Witzel, Ilona E. de Hooge, Pegah Amani, et al. · 2015 · Sustainability · 902 cites

   In the past decade, food waste has received increased attention on both academic and societal levels. As a cause of negative economic, environmental and social effects, food waste is considered to be one of the sustainability issues that needs to be addressed. In developed countries, consumers are one of the biggest sources of food waste. To successfully reduce consumer-related food waste, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the factors influencing food waste-related consumer perceptions and behaviors. The present paper presents the results of a literature review and expert interviews on factors causing consumer-related food waste in households and supply chains. Results show th

6. Impacts of climate change on the livestock food supply chain; a review of the evidence

   Cécile Godde, Daniel Mason-D’Croz, Dianne Mayberry, et al. · 2021 · Global Food Security · 771 cites

   The potential impacts of climate change on current livestock systems worldwide are a major concern, and yet the topic is covered to a limited extent in global reports such as the ones produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In this article, we review the risk of climate-related impacts along the land-based livestock food supply chain. Although a quantification of the net impacts of climate change on the livestock sector is beyond the reach of our current understanding, there is strong evidence that there will be impacts throughout the supply chain, from farm production to processing operations, storage, transport, retailing and human consumption. The risks of climate-relat

7. Understanding Food Loss and Waste—Why Are We Losing and Wasting Food?

   Rovshen Ishangulyyev, Sanghyo Kim, Sang Hyeon Lee · 2019 · Foods · 581 cites

   The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reported that approximately one-third of all produced foods (1.3 billion tons of edible food) for human consumption is lost and wasted every year across the entire supply chain. Significant impacts of food loss and waste (FLW) have increased interest in establishing prevention programs around the world. This paper aims to provide an overview of FLW occurrence and prevention. Economic, political, cultural, and socio-demographic drivers of FLW are described, highlighting the global variation. This approach might be particularly helpful for scientists, governors, and policy makers to identify the global variation and to focus on future implications.

8. Quantification of food waste per product group along the food supply chain in the European Union: a mass flow analysis

   Carla Caldeira, Valeria De Laurentiis, Sara Corrado, et al. · 2019 · Resources Conservation and Recycling · 496 cites

   In 2015, the United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which include a target (12.3) on food waste. The target requires "by 2030, to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and to reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses". The target has increased awareness about the food waste problem and boosted research in food waste quantification. Nevertheless, there is a lack of studies that adopt a systematic approach to account for food waste providing disaggregated values per food supply chain stage and per food groups. Such an approach could support policy makers in prioritizing interventions for food was
