A critical review on food loss and waste quantification approaches: Is there a need to develop alternatives beyond the currently widespread pathways?

Daniel Hoehn et al.

Summary: In the context of increasing concern regarding food loss and waste (FLW) generation, efforts have been made to standardize quantification methodologies. However, to date, there is no agreed upon standard methodology for FLW quantification. This study assesses existing methodologies and highlights the need for alternative paths. The assessment reveals uncertainty and opacity in current FLW quantification and assessment reports.

Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) to enhance environmental entrepreneurship in the meat sector: Challenges and opportunities

Christian Bux et al.

Summary: Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) is a widely accepted tool in environmental, social, and economic research. This study applies MFCA to investigate the costs associated with meat production in Italy and explores the challenges and opportunities for environmental entrepreneurship in the meat sector. The research reveals the significant economic and resource losses caused by food waste in Italy.

The environmental impact of reducing food loss and waste: A critical assessment

Andrea Cattaneo et al.

Summary: This paper examines the rationale for pursuing environmental objectives by reducing food loss and waste. It finds that reducing food loss can improve resource use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of food consumed. However, the actual environmental impact depends on where the reduction occurs and how price transmission connects along the food supply chain.

Food loss in the Hungarian food industry-Examining quantification problems and attitudes of managers and their impact on policy

Gyongyi Kurthy et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the less-analyzed sector of food processors and their management of food losses. Results show that only half of the respondents maintain exact records of food loss, with larger companies perceiving the issue as more serious and having greater motivation to address it. In order to reduce and better utilize food loss, fundamental changes in food loss regulation and incentives for companies are needed.

Magnitude, Causes and Scope for Reducing Food Losses in the Baking and Confectionery Industry-A Multi-Method Approach

Elzbieta Gorynska-Goldmann et al.

Summary: The study delved into food losses in the baking and confectionery industry in Poland, identifying reasons for losses and devising toolkits for prevention and mitigation. Companies experienced losses mainly from transport departments and retail returns, with 31 primary reasons and 94 secondary reasons identified using the Ishikawa concept. This research offers valuable insights for developing strategies to address food losses in the industry.

Food Loss and Waste Prevention Strategies from Farm to Fork

Rosalinda Nicastro et al.

Summary: Approximately one-third of food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted each year, with a distinction between food loss in low-income countries and food waste in developed countries. Preventing food losses and waste is crucial for balancing food supply and demand, improving food security, reducing environmental impact, and providing economic benefits to the actors in the food supply chain.

Recommendation of Good Practice in the Food-Processing Industry for Preventing and Handling Food Loss and Waste

Florian Roesler et al.

Summary: Food-processing companies' efforts in reducing food loss and waste vary, requiring good practice recommendations to prevent and handle it. Participating companies are partially aware of operational measures, but lack a systematic approach. Most activities focus on internal matters, and companies should not only focus on internal processes, but also be involved along the entire supply chain to reduce food waste.

Food Waste Generation in Germany in the Scope of European Legal Requirements for Monitoring and Reporting

Dominik Leverenz et al.

Summary: The European Commission and the German government are committed to reducing food waste as part of the UN SDG target 12.3. A study was conducted to provide food waste quantities for Germany based on legal monitoring and reporting requirements. Germany generated approximately 11.9 +/- 2.4 million tonnes of food waste in 2015, with varying reduction potentials across sectors. The study serves as a starting point for future monitoring activities and highlights the importance of a national food waste strategy to meet reduction targets.
