I would like to highlight on part of the produce/food the way it is being handled. I mean at the time of harvesting, processing and selling. Most of the food produce (Farm, Sea food etc) are still being poorly handled lack of good and required infrastructure, in many cases under utilization of the available infrastructure, lack of monitoring on quality and hygiene issues among sellers, buyers and administrative staff.
Hence, proper awareness on the importance of the food along with their nutritional values, economic value and negative impacts of lack of quality and hygiene is to be given highest importance.
Finally there should be a good sharing mechanism on various types of food availability at various stages so that if at all any waste is inevitable then it can be used properly by necessary process or value addition...
A dedicated website or blog to keep updates on selective areas/industries food waste or it's improvement in reducing the food waste and how the waste is being hadled properly or minimised can be shared to all periodically.
