ABSTRACT
It is compelling to focus on solving the issue of food waste and loss as major strides can be achieved. In addition, advances can be made related to another issue that affects this industry: sustainable food production. Improving food production practices would benefit the industry, people, and the environment. Farmers in developing countries could prosper from more information, and affordable, innovative solutions to help them not only produce more but get their produce to market. This chapter will take you through the issues of food waste and food production, presenting them as two interrelated domains within the industry and demonstrating both the challenges and the shared value opportunities.
