Happy International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste! 🥑🍌🍊 Did you know that one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted? This is a staggering number and action is needed now. The Netherlands aims for a more sustainable future by turning innovative ideas into practical solutions. Recent research has shown more investments are happening in the postharvest domain. For example, through food processing but also cold storage systems. Through cold-chain logistics and smart investments in clean energy, we’re reducing food waste and strengthening food systems at the same time. By working together with our international partners, we’re making every resource count and ensure no more food is lost along the way. For example, in East Africa, the Netherlands is supporting a feasibility study in Ethiopia to develop post-harvest and cooling storage infrastructure in selected regional sites. Requested by the Ethiopian Ministry of Transport and Logistics and with the support of Wageningen University & Research, and other partners, the study will assess cooling needs, investment estimates, and financing options. This project aims to reduce food loss and enhance food security. #IDFLW2024 #NoWasting #WorldDaysNL #FarmingtheFuture #FoodSecurity #Agrologistics
