Assessing nutritional and economic aspects of food loss and waste in China

30/11/2023

Addressing FLW requires comprehensive data to adequately prioritize its reduction and evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions. However, the nutritional and economic losses associated with FLW in China are poorly understood. We used multiple indicators to assess FLW in China from nutritional and economic perspectives and conducted a scenario analysis of the benefits of its reduction.
