Reducing Food Loss and Waste: Impacts on Poverty and Food Security

Join us as we explore the effects of food loss reduction on economic growth, poverty alleviation, and food security. Discover the links between reducing food loss and strengthening food security, and explore how this strategic approach can shape economic prosperity. Furthermore, we’ll examine its role in enhancing quality of life and diminishing poverty rates.
