Pyxera Global Addresses The Global Issue Of ‘Post-Harvest Loss’ Of Agricultural Produce
Dailycsr.com – 23 January 2017 – Pyxera Global pledges you to take part in the Twitter chat called “How the World Can Cut Food Loss in Half by 2030” along with the Rockefeller Foundation, the co-author of “Food Foolish”, the “Dow Chemical Company” and “Feed the Future”. The said chat is scheduled to take place on Thursday, the 26th of January 2017 at “11:00 am ET at #GEFLive”.
Moreover, it is important to know that as much as almost fifty percent of the produced crop either vegetables or fruits, never make it to the market, as they get wiped off even before. On the other hand, as many as “1.2 billion” remain hungry or they are “undernourished” on a daily basis.
The above mentioned loss of food products could be termed as “post-harvest loss” which occurs “due to a host of reasons”, while the solutions to address the issue would require a collaborative approach from “a public-private-social sector”. The up side of the solutions, if successfully executed, could ease numerous threating affairs like “climate change, global water shortages, and even global poverty”.
Irrespective of being an instrument to restructure “supply chains for the circular economy” or to put an end to “global hunger”, one cannot ignore the “post-harvest loss” as it will affect the either ends eventually.
Joining in the chat will enable you to talk to the “featured chat participants”, the list of which is provided below, as mentioned by Ethical Performance:
