Abstract
The food waste and losses (FW) became one of the most impacting aspects in modern society. This review article presents an overview of various aspects linked to the phenomenon of food losses in primary cereal production and its consequences. From the analysis of reviewed specific literature, it resulted that the losses are found both in the harvesting process and in the post-harvest processes (conditioning, separation, sorting, chemical treatment, transport etc.) these representing the primary processing of agricultural products, especially seeds. The review focuses on the new technologies’ influence in reducing FW in harvesting and post-harvesting process, highlighting the contribution of agricultural engineering studies on this specific topic
