Résumé : | In the vast debate on food security, the issues of food loss and food waste have become central. Whereas many concerns exist regarding the evolution of the supply and demand for agricultural products in the coming years, the struggle against losses and waste is turning out to be one of the main levers to pull in attempting to reduce food insecurity in the world. Such an issue also affects the Mediterranean Basin. All the countries in this region are facing the following difficulty: they need to produce more with fewer resources and thus use resources more sparingly. The problem of food loss and food waste has various dimensions (social, economic and environmental) and should be approached from three different yet complementary angles. Indeed, combining the analysis of natural resources, production and knowledge allows the matter to be situated more globally within the perspective of sustainable development, where humans become the priority again. |
