Abstract
Food loss (FL) reduction has become an important issue to fight against multiple crises such as climate change, the need to supply a growing world population or rising food insecurity. A reduction of FL further contributes to decrease avoidable resource consumption, including water, energy or fertilizer and, consequently, decreases the ecological footprint of food production. Especially vegetables are highly perishable goods, resulting in potential losses along the vegetable supply chain (VSC), if operations are weakly organised. In addition, vegetable farming is a highly resource intensive farming method and the reduction of food loss provides the opportunity to reduce resource consumption. Consequently, the purpose of this case study is to analyses causes for FL in a regional vegetable supply chain (VSC) in Franconia to identify weaknesses and best practices from two perspectives, a circular economy view and an operations management. Findings reveal FL their flows to recycling or reuse categories from the food waste pyramid, measures implemented to reduce FL with their benefits and weaknesses and the mechanisms that influence various stages within the VSC with a specific focus on agricultural production, wholesale and retail.
