In face of significant sustainability challenges, finding effective solutions to reduce food loss and waste has never been more urgent. Developed as part of the EU-funded FOLOU project, this course will help you understand food loss, particularly in the context of the wider food system, recognise the value of measuring food loss as a first step towards tackling the problem, and identify key stakeholders. By the end of it, you will be able to explain why food loss matters and how better measurement and management can improve the sustainability, security and fairness of our food systems.
Specifically, in this first course you will learn about the difference between food loss and food waste, the environmental, social and economic impacts, and discover effective methods to measure and reduce food loss. The course is designed for anyone passionate about sustainability, including farmers, researchers, and policymakers.
