Food loss and food waste (FLW) are associated with most, if not all, fisheries and aquaculture value chain activities. As demand for aquatic foods continues to grow globally, and with the world population expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, it is important to understand what causes FLW and to apply solutions to reduce its impact.
This website provides a platform to access information on the causes and solutions to FLW at key aquatic value chain stages. The goal is to make it easier to find resources that will support the development of sustainable strategies across the sector.
