NO This document outlines the role of green technology and business models in reducing food loss and waste. It explores seven key mechanisms for improvement across the food supply chain, including production, processing, retail, and consumption sectors. Methods discussed involve using data-driven forecasting, precision agriculture, and digital platforms to optimise stock and reduce waste. The document also examines post-harvest storage solutions, logistics technology, and redistribution strategies to enhance product stability and sales efficiency. Furthermore, it details approaches for measuring waste in food service, upcycling surplus products, and implementing circular economy principles. Finally, the report provides a framework for developing a national food waste reduction strategy, emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships, behaviour change campaigns, and informed policy-making to drive systemic change.
