Committee on World Food Security - High Level Panel of Experts on “Food Security and Nutrition  Sustainable Agricultural Development for Food Security and Nutrition, including the Role of Livestock”

The report is very important and comprehensive, with some comments:

It is very important to deal with the matter according to each country, for example, in the developing countries such as my country Jordan, the main food loss and waste in:

    Poor quality packages which provide little or no protection during handling, transport and storage which lead to mechanical damage.

    Delays in marketing without proper storage.

    Buy more food when the price is low which lead to more loss of food.

    It is very important also to take the measures in awareness to consumer (Lectures, media,…. ) about important of proper consumption  by buying their need not more than that and learn them that this will lead to increase the price. The proper way of consumption lead to decrease the cost for family, more health for human ( fresh) to increase knowledge and changed behaviors which provide the food to other people in the same country or other country.

    The change in nutrition habits of consumers is very important in reducing the food loss and reach to healthy food.

    The cooperation between the countries in food issues.

    Climate change is very important in food production.

Thank you very much
