description
Presented as part of the Side Event at CFS 41: "Collaboration-Led Waste Reduction: From Producer to Consumer". In Sweden, Government policy supporting collaborations intended to reduce food waste and production losses has been a great success. In part, due to the specific policy for Global Development (PGD) which supports the creation of platforms for knowledge exchange and multi-sectoral collaboration. This side event will present a number of examples of this policy-led collaboration from the Swedish context relating to the reduction of food waste and production losses throughout the whole food chain, on a global scale. http://www.siani.se/event/foodwaste_cfs41

• Post harvest handling-Deterioration of quality
Food losses
• Banana rejected at bulking centre due to poor quality.

Supporting access to mark of quality
i.e. KEBS
• Promoting value Addition-Banana Ripening- using appropriate technology
