“…Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Food Loss and Waste mechanisation. Retaining more grain results in overall lower emissions per unit of product, and, generally speaking, the value of these avoided losses covers the economic expense of mechanisation (Castelein et al, 2021;Gummert et al, 2020;Nguyen-Van-Hung et al, 2018). Likewise, plant breeding for high-yielding, shortduration, and stress-tolerant varieties is an investment in mitigation, alongside agronomic management interventions, despite not often being construed as such (Ortiz-Monasterio et al, 2010).…”

Our food systems have performed well in the past, but they are failing us in the face of climate change and other challenges. This book tells the story of why food system transformation is needed, how it can be achieved and how research can be a catalyst for change. Written by a global interdisciplinary team of researchers, it brings together perspectives from multiple areas including climate, environment, agriculture, and the social sciences to describe how different tools and approaches can be used to tackle food system transformation. It provides practical, actionable insights for policymakers and advisors, demonstrating how science together with strong partnerships can enable real transformation on the ground. It also contributes to the academic debate on the transformation of food systems, and so will be an invaluable reference for researchers and students alike. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

“…In a controlled experiment on smallholder rice farms in Nigeria, we measured the impact of mechanising farm activities (Castelein et al, 2021) (Figure 10.2). Results showed that switching to mechanised harvesting and threshing reduces harvest paddy losses from 9.6 percent to 0.9 percent, and increases threshing efficiency from 31.1 percent to 33.1 percent.…”

“…This case study shows how efficiently mechanisation can lessen environmental impact and FL, while increasing food production and farmer income. Retaining more grain results in overall lower emissions per unit of product, and, generally speaking, the value of these avoided losses covers the economic expense of mechanisation (Castelein et al, 2021;Gummert et al, 2020;Nguyen-Van-Hung et al, 2018).

Value Chain Interventions from Farmer to Fork jan broeze, heike axmann, bob castelein, xuezhen guo, bjoernole sander, katherine m. nelson, reiner wassmann, and nguyen van hung Highlights• Food loss and waste (FLW) strongly contribute to the climate impact of the food supply and impair food security. • FLW and the associated climate impacts vary greatly among different types of adopted technology and value chain configurations. Solutions should be found per specific situation. • FLW can be approached from a chain perspective; in many cases, reducing FLW at a certain chain stage is best achieved by interventions elsewhere along the chain. • The Agro-Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions (ACE) calculator supports the identification of FLW and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots along a chain, as well as estimating the net effects of interventions. • FLW-reducing interventions mostly contribute to climate mitigations, as demonstrated for rice and various fruits and vegetables; however, some high-tech interventions may induce higher extra GHG emissions than can be mitigated by FLW reduction.

Rice production has declined in the last 5 years, causing UD. Produce engaged in the rice business is feeling the impact. There are ongoing constraints regarding the estimated processing time of more than 400 minutes and complaints of the right strategy addressing this issue. The purpose of the study is to determine the rice business process strategy using Business Process Improvement. Research methods using quantitative and qualitative design of diagnostics. The instrument used is non-participant observation. Data used by stakeholder roles, process names, business task projects. Conducted 4-why evaluation, streamling, recommendations. The results of the study that supplier partnerships, Sp2 uses standardization for the code Up1 and Up2 uses streamling, Sp1. The strategy carried out related to labor training, database creation using microsoft office, with Ms. Asses's product, In this contract bond it is necessary to convey about the expected quality subcriteria, the expected price subcriteria and the expected delivery subcriteria. Rules related to standard operating procedures need to be designed at each work site. Research contributions related to facilities, databases, and suppliers. Produksi padi yang menurun dalam waktu 5 tahun terakhir, menyebabkan UD. Hasil Bumi yang bergerak di bidang bisnis beras merasakan dampaknya. Terdapat kendala yang sedang terjadi mengenai estimasi waktu prosesnya lebih dari 400 menit dan keluhan strategi yang tepat mengatasi masalah ini. Tujuan penelitian untuk menentukan strategi proses bisnis beras menggunakan Business Process Improvement. Metode penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif dan kualitatif diagnostik. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah observasi non- partisipant. Data yang dipakai peran stakeholder, nama proses, task proceess business. Dilakukan evaluasi 4-why, streamling, rekomendasi. Hasil penelitian bahwa supplier partnerships, Sp2 menggunakan standardization untuk kode Up1 dan Up2 menggunakan streamling, Sp1. Strategi yang dilakukan terkait training tenaga kerja, Pembuatan database menggunakan microsoft office, dengan produk Ms. Asses, Didalam ikatan kontrak ini perlu disampaikan mengenai subkriteria mutu yang diharapkan, subkriteria harga yang diharapkan dan subkriteria pengiriman yang diharapkan. Aturan – aturan terkait standar operasional prosedur perlu di rancang disetiap lokasi kerja. Kontribusi penelitian terkait fasilitas, database, dan penyuplai.
