LOSS AND FOOD WASTE IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
LAC COUNTRIES ARE CURRENTLY TAKING SOME MEASURES TO REDUCE FOOD
LOSSES AND WASTE
GUATEMALA:
FACILITATE ACCESS TO METAL SILOS
ECUADOR:
IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY
BETWEEN PRODUCTION
AREAS AND SALE/OR
COLLECTION CENTRES;
MORE AND BETTER
ROADS IN THE
COUNTRYSIDE
PARAGUAY AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO SALE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN
THE FORM OF PUBLIC SUPPLY MARKETS.
Both projects funded by the
State in order to improve
commercialization of agricultural
products
IN MEXICO, BRAZIL, DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC, PARAGUAY, ARGENTINA,
GUATEMALA AND COLOMBIA
FACILITATE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE
CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
FOOD BANKS
MEXICO
NOG Network of 61 food
banks are already operating in
the country, 2013: 56.046 tons
of food
CARICOM COUNTRIES
ANALYSE AND PROMOTE THE REDUCTION
OF POSTHARVEST LOSSES ALONG THE
FOOD CHAIN ON PRIORITY CROPS (FAO)
COSTA RICA
THE “THINK, EAT, SAVE” AWARENESS CAMPAING IS BEING
IMLEMENTED

ANALIZE AND RECOGNIZE DIFFERENT REALITIES IN THIS REGION:
LARGE AND SMALL COUNTRIES
COUNTRIES WITH VERY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT
EXPORTING COUNTRIES
IMPORTING COUNTRIES
FAMILY FARMING AND SMALL PRODUCERS
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
DIFFERENT SERVICES OF GOVERNANCE
HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM?
TO RECOGNIZE AND INTEGRATED A VERSATILE APPROACH: VALUE CHAIN AND FOOD
SYSTEMS FROM PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION AND EMPLOYMENT
Specific
attention to
equal
opportunities
to facilitate
everybody’s
inclusion
HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM?
Efficiency
PROPOSAL: A REGIONAL STRATEGY FOR REDUCTION OF FOOD
LOSSES AND WASTE
PILLARS OF THE STRATEGY PROPOSAL IN LAC:
NEXT STEPS
RESEARCH
TECHNOLOGY
AND KNOWLEDGE
INFORMATION/
COMMUNICATION
GOVERNANCE
EMPIRICAL DATA
TECHNOLOGY
INNOVATION
AWARENESS RAISING
NETWORKS
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
DIALOGUE
NETWORKS
STUDIES ON LOSSES AND WASTE IN SELECTED
AGRIFOOD CHAINS, WITH ENFHASIS IN BASIC
FOOD BASKET (FRUITS, VEGETABLES, FISH)
METHODOLOGIES TO QUANTIFY LOSSES AND
WASTE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN (RETAIL,
POSTHARVEST, ETC)
REGIONAL CONSULTATION ON
FOOD LOSSES AND WASTE
DISSEMINATION OF CAMPAIGN
“THINK, EAT, SAVE” IN LAC
PUBLIC POLICIES
CODE CONDUCT IN LAC

SCENARIO 1 Isolated actions and
Food losses and waste
unknown
SCENARIO 2
33 countries know the food
looses and waste, fao with
public and private partners
raise evidence on food loss
and waste in lac and reduce
SCENARIO 3
The countries take
integrated actions for
the reduction of food
loss and waste at least
in 30% ?
REDUCTION
GOAL OF THE REGIONAL STRATEGY
“Future progress in agricultural production and climate change will mean
very little to world food security
if we continue losing and wasting much of the food we produce…” ( Jose Cuesta)
