Abstract

It has been estimated that roughly one quarter of food produced in the UK is wasted from the time the food commodities leave the farm until they are presented to the consumer on a plate. Dr Osner looks at the crude energy gap, when and where food wastage occurs, and discusses ways of reducing and utilising waste
