Can reducing food waste really feed the world? 🌍 Every year, 33-40% of the world’s food is wasted, while over 800 million people go hungry. Imagine a world where better coordination and smarter planning in the food supply chain could solve both problems at once. Here’s the story: 💰 $600 billion worth of food is lost during or just after harvest every year. 🍅 Out of every 100 tomatoes harvested, only 59-72 make it to store shelves in developed countries. In developing nations, it’s even lower: just 35-58. 🌡️ Advanced methods like temperature-controlled logistics and precision demand planning could recover enough food to feed 870 million people! Countries like France and initiatives like the EU's Farm to Fork Strategy are proving this is possible with strict regulations and innovation. What’s your take on how we can reduce food waste while improving sustainability? 💭 #FoodSupplyChain #Sustainability #ReduceFoodWaste #InnovationInLogistics #GlobalHunger #SupplyChainSolutions
