The Social Initiative on Food Loss and Waste
Öz
Cold war, changes in the balances of power, economic crises, poverty and hunger have been the most important
discussion topics in the new century. Among those, reducing poverty is become one of the main objectives.
According to the international poverty line of one-fifth of the world's population has a daily income of less than 2
US Dollars. Despite progress, the Asia-Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa and in Latin America-Caribbean hunger is
still a major problem. The total number of people suffering hunger in the World is more than the combined
populations of USA, Canada and the European Union. Enough food is produced worldwide to feed all the people
in the World. However, despite this truth, nearly millions people are suffering from chronic hunger today. There
are a wide range of factors that contribute to this problem, but perhaps one of the most significant is poor food
distribution and also food waste. It is estimated that one third of all food produced is wasted from farm to fork.
This waste is equivalent to 5 to 6 year of total food production of Sub-saharan Africa. Whatever the socioeconomic
classification of country, all countries have food loss/waste problem. Large amounts of food is still lost
during the production process in developing countries, however, due to lack of infrastructure and poor
equipment. In developed countries food waste is mostly a big problem at consumption and retail stage. Different
solutions are recommended for these countries; in the developed world, they include consumer awareness
raising and stakeholders partnerships. The developing countries' drivers include raising of farmers education,
improve the infrastructure, and supported better technology.
