“…In turn, one driver of low availability and affordability is high levels of food loss: at present, an estimated one-third of food produced is lost or wasted before being consumed (8), and the amount of food estimated as lost in 2017 would be enough to feed 940 million people (9). Food loss can increase food prices, reduce food availability and desirability, and reduce nutrient content.…”

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with governments, businesses and civil society, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people, especially the most vulnerable.

Liquid waste of food industry enterprises contains various valuable organic substances of natural origin, which can be rationally used to obtain feed proteins. The problem of using valuable substances from food waste solves the problem of using biotechnological methods in order to use methods of accumulating biomass, enzymes, vitamins, etc. The biomass of unicellular microorganisms formed in the process of cultivation can be a raw material for obtaining feed additives and other biologically active substances.

“…The last decade has witnessed a rapidly growing number of studies on the quantification of food loss and waste (FLW) in various regions around the globe. This trend is due to FLW importance in achieving food and nutrition security [1][2][3], to help tackle food poverty [4], and to improve the environmental footprint of countries [5,6]. There is now a broad consensus on two key issues that need to be addressed: the need for research to focus on generating more data on the amount of FLW outside the current focus area (U.S. and Europe) [7,8], and the need to fully capture estimates of FLW along the complete food supply chain (FSC) [9].…”

The quantification of food losses and waste (FLW) has become a research hotspot in the last decade, but little work has been done to have food waste data in Latin American countries. This paper contributes to addressing this knowledge gap by examining the magnitude of FLW along the whole food supply chain (FSC) in Peru. The methodological approach was based on the top-down mass flow analysis at all steps of the FSC for the 2007–2017 period (most recently available data), including different food commodity groups (CGs), such as cereals, roots and tubers, oil seeds and pulses, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and seafood, and milk. Results show an annual average of FLW of 12.8 million tonnes, which represents 47.76% of the national food supply. Regarding per capita quantities, the average amount of FLW was 426.56 kg per year when considering the entire FSC, and 67.34 kg per year when considering only the consumption step. This study suggests which steps of the FSC and CGs are the most promising targets for FLW reduction strategies in Peru.
