Rapid population growth has increased the global demand for food. However, some studies have revealed that more than one-third of the global food production is lost during postharvest operations along the food supply chain.

Storage is an important aspect of food security in developing countries. Therefore, it is crucial for farmers to have access to sustainable storage technologies to cope with storage losses.

Urbanization is a pressing challenge for earth’s humans because it is changing not only natural environments but also agricultural lands.

This edited volume brings together effective measurement, methodologies, and determinants of food loss & waste (FLW), and more.

Identifying policy-relevant information gaps, summarizing recent research that tries to fill these gaps, and the five challenges for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in reducing FLW.

The essential first steps of addressing the problem of food loss are measuring the loss, identifying where in the food system it occurs, and developing effective policies to mitigate it along the value chain.

We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural–urban value chains in Ethiopia.

A substantial literature has analyzed the challenges around weather index insurance, yet an important design issue has been generally overlooked.

Analyzing food system transformation in terms of value chains' structure and conduct, and the effects of changes in those on its performance.
