Production:

-Precision Ag: Use drones and satellite imaging to use resources like water and fertilizers better and reduce crop loss due to pests or weather.

-Better Farming: Adopt sustainable farming practices to reduce soil erosion and increase yields.

Processing & Storage:

-Infrastructure: Invest in better storage structures by upgrading refrigeration systems, controlled atmosphere technologies and better packaging to reduce waste.

-Food Safety & Quality Control: Implement strict quality control to detect problems early and avoid big losses.

-Distribution:

-Logistics: Reduce routes, minimize delay and ensure timely delivery to avoid food waste during transit.

Cold Chain Management: Maintain temperature throughout the distribution process.

-Consumption:

-Meal planning. This means having a meal schedule to reduce excess buying and reduce food decay. Proper storage- Store food well in the fridge or freezer in the right quantity that will not spoil. Composting- Collect food waste to deposit into compost for nutrient rich soil.

Reduce Food Waste in Restaurants: Encourage restaurants to adopt measures such as smaller portion sizes, “doggy bags,” and composting programs.
