Highlights

  • About 1.3 billion tons per year of food is lost or wasted, starting at the production stage and ending at the consumer domain [1]

  • At the same time, United Nations predicts that food demand must be increased by 70 % to feed the projected world population by 2050

  • It is seen that most the population growth is take place in the developing countries. According to these provided revised population data, the world continues to face a challenge to have an adequate supply of food to feed the fast growing population

Summary

Introduction

About 1.3 billion tons per year of food is lost or wasted, starting at the production stage and ending at the consumer domain [1]. From this figure, it is seen that most the population growth is take place in the developing countries. It is seen that most the population growth is take place in the developing countries According to these provided revised population data, the world continues to face a challenge to have an adequate supply of food to feed the fast growing population. This means, we need to produce more food with the existing limited natural resources (land, water, energy and fertilizer)
