FOOD CHAIN INEFFICIENCY (FCI): ACCOUNTING CONVERSION EFFICIENCIES ACROSS ENTIRE FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS TO RE-DEFINE FOOD LOSS AND WASTE

Food Chain Inefficiency (FCI): Accounting Conversion Efficiencies Across Entire Food Supply Chains to Re-define Food Loss and Waste

Achieving global food security requires a new approach that integrates not only all aspects of the growing, harvesting and processing of food (necessary to ensure sufficient affordable and sustainable production to alleviate hunger) but also the complexities associated with food consumption including deterring unhealthy overconsumption.Inefficienci
