Asunto: GLOBAL FOOD LOST AND FOOD WASTE: Extent of food losses and waste

Subject: GLOBAL FOOD LOST AND FOOD WASTE: Extent of food losses and waste
Dear Colleagues,
On several occasion we have been discussing poverty and sustainable
development. While doing some research for my current project on food
and beverage management, I stumbled upon an FAO publication on GLOBAL
FOOD LOST AND FOOD WASTE: Extent of food losses and waste. The
following quote from this publication is very revealing regarding the
extent of food losses and waste:
"Roughly one-third of the edible parts of food produced for human
consumption, gets lost or wasted globally, which is about 1.3 billion
ton per year. Food is wasted throughout the FSC, from initial
agricultural production down to final household consumption. In
medium- and high-income countries food is to a great extent wasted,
meaning that it is thrown away even if it is still suitable for human
consumption. Significant food loss and waste do, however, also occur
early in the food supply chain. In low-income countries food is mainly
lost during the early and middle stages of the food supply chain; much
less food is wasted at the consumer level"
(http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ags/publications/GFL_web.pdf).
Quite often I when I talked to folks in TVET about sustainable
development they seem to have difficulty in seeing the relevance of
education for sustainable development (ESD) for TVET. The global food
lost and food waste is an ideal context for introducing ESD in TVET
programs for those delivering training programs in food production,
marketing, sales and services.
Long before UNESCO took the leadership to promote ESD, there were
smart folks and frontier thinkers in TVET who had already embraced the
concept. Let me give you an example related to food waste. A few years
ago I worked with some chefs in Canada to develop a national
competency standard. A chef who participated in a professional
examination told me that after he had completed his cooking
assignments, the judges weighed his garbage bag to assess how much of
the raw materials were wasted in the food preparation process. In a
study we conducted here in Canada to identify the generic sustainable
development skills needed by the Canadian workforce we found that
"maximizing resources and minimizing waste" was an essential skills
which enable workers to contribute to the goals of sustainable
development.
I hope that this will be food for thoughts!
Cheers to all!
Chris
