This course introduces the concept of food loss and waste and explains why it matters for businesses, food systems, and communities.
Designed for agribusiness professionals, consultants, supply chain leaders, and development practitioners, this course builds a foundational understanding of where food loss and waste occurs across the supply chain and why reducing it creates environmental, economic, and social value.
This course helps explore the definition of food loss and food waste, the environmental and resource impacts of food loss and waste, the connection between food loss and waste and food security, and why reducing food loss and waste improves efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
By the end of this course, learners will understand the scale and significance of food loss and waste and recognize reduction as a strategic opportunity, not just an operational adjustment.
