| Abstract | Food production has changed considerably after the green revolution. Modern farming practices are becoming increasingly more mechanized in order to minimize input costs and maximize outputs. However, it is estimated that by 2030, food production will need to increase by at least 50% to meet the demands of the growing world population (FAO 2012). Despite an increase in food production, it is estimated that at least one billion tonnes of food is wasted annually (FAO 2011). The wasted food could feed approximately two billion people annually. It is estimated that most of the food waste occurs between production and retailing. |
