Abstract
Food waste is a significant issue in the global food system, contributing to environmental degradation, economic losses, and food insecurity. This paper explores strategies to reduce food waste at various stages of the supply chain, from production and distribution to consumption and disposal. It discusses initiatives such as surplus food redistribution, improved storage and packaging, consumer education, and policy interventions, highlighting the potential for collaboration among stakeholders to create a more sustainable and equitable food system.
