| Abstract
|
Reducing food losses would not only make more food available and reduce overall food costs; it would also contribute to making agricultural
and rural development more sustainable given the impact of food losses on the three dimensions of sustainability:
•• social equity, which refers to the likely positive impacts
on food security if food losses along agribusiness VCs are reduced;
•• economic viability, which refers to the opportunities for making agribusiness VCs more lucrative and competitive that result from the reduction of food losses;
•• environmental sustainability, which refers to the possibilities of reducing the waste of natural resources that have initially been used for producing, trading and processing agrifood products and that are ultimately lost and thus not available for consumption or other intended purposes.
