New estimate of global #foodwaste: Consumers may be wasting more than twice as much food as commonly believed. In PLOS One by WUR Economic journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

#FoodWaste | Consumers may be wasting more than twice as much food as commonly believed. Widely used estimates don’t account for effects of affluence on consumer behavior, and affluent consumers waste more food. 🥕🌮🍇 wur.nl/en/Research-Re…

If corporate food waste is meant to refer to losses in food industries and supply chains up to point of retail, it is not the focus of this model. The model does estimate ALL food waste at consumption level whether at consumer homes or in food service sector PLOS One WUR Economic

Thanks New Scientist for informative coverage of our PLOS One study on #foodwaste with ciritical views from from Food and Agriculture Organization and WRAP NGO. Agreed, measuring extent of waste is important. We indicate this should start around expediture levels as low as 7$ per day newscientist.com/article/223292…

Goede vraag! We schatten de verspilling in alle voedselconsumptie: wat consumenten thuis eten maar ook buitenshuis, in restaurants, kantines, catering. We sporen al die partijen aan om verspilling terug te dringen en kijken er (juist) niet alleen de consument op aan.

Glad to see this explored in a policy paper because 1. Meat levy for acceptable production not reduced consumption. 2. Feasible form of #truepricing in ag, if farmers benefit from levy. 3. Break away from "level playing field" paralysis. 4.Takes citizen-consumer dilemma seriously

Looking forward to start the collaboration Dr. Laura Pereira Daniel Mason-D'Croz !

Somehow, the bigger the #foodwaste challenge, the more potential this provides as solution to overcome other problems - such as cropland expansion driven by climate change. WUR Economic

There is ample coverage on this paper in the media, such as FCRNetwork - now @TableDebates post fcrn.org.uk/research-libra…. And full paper is available open access from PLOS One

It's a yes. Food access by Household Dietary Diversity Score is a strong predictor of average nutrient adequacy in household. Beware: it's on 7-day recall. Targeting income, access to health and transport seem key to improve HDDS. open access! Ethiopian Public Health Institute A4NH_CGIAR

In Q&A with Suneetha Kadiyala of (No longer in use) IMMANA_res, Angus Deaton returns to changing gaps in U.S. life expectancy and the recent reversal of past gains among those with least education. In his words, this is "American capitalism coming for the weakest".

"American capitalism coming for the weakest" will come with a rebound on the richest.

Do we know what #sustainable #FoodSystems exactly are, to the benefit of all? Do we know how to measure them? Read our proposal on a "Food System Sustainability Compass" in Global Food Security - EU_ScienceHub @AniekHebinck Oxford University Thom Achterbosch et al doi.org/10.1016/j.gfs.…

What direction of travel in transforming #foodsystems? The compass helps to set direction of travel, and give account of lesser priorities, possible blind spots. Up next: to put the compass into practical use. #food2030 Food Trails EU Food Health
