Gender and Food Loss in Sustainable Food Value Chains

Gender and Food Loss in Sustainable Food Value Chains Synopsis

This publication demonstrates that gender inequalities generate poor performance that may cause produce to be lost from the food value chain. It offers practical guidance and tools for integrating gender concerns into the planning and implementation of food loss studies as well as reduction strategies and interventions to improve the way women and men participate in and benefit from food production. This publication will help policy-makers, project designers and field practitioners understand and manage the nexus between gender equality and food loss.
