Strategies for Food Loss and Waste Management in Food Supply Chains in A Developing Economy

Abstract
The present food supply chains confront a variety of social, environmental, and economic issues. Massive waste is one of the most significant consequences of these difficulties. Due to evolving business conditions, practitioners struggle with reducing food loss and waste (FLW) and lack a clear understanding of the approaches they might use to reduce FLW. The current article focuses on developing solutions to manage FLW for the sustainable food supply chains. A normative review is used to identify the broad strategies for FLW mitigation. Strategies to mitigate FLW are identified from content analysis of the literature. The review proposes a distinction between FLW prevention and management strategies. It identifies and discusses nine strategies such as food donations, reverse and closed-loop supply chains, pre-harvest management, FPO based business model, industry 4.0 applications, cold chain applications, dynamic pricing and shelf life optimization strategies, as well as various waste management strategies. Nine key strategies were identified using Best worst Method. The article collates various viewpoints from the experts regarding how the identified strategies were operationally different in developing countries as compared to developed economies, thus presenting a holistic image for FLW mitigation in a developing economy. Food waste management and the reverse flow of wasted nutrition are critical for circular economy realization. There is a strong need to take a nutrition perspective of FSCs and research into improving the nutritional efficiency of the existing FSCs Keywords - Aluminium Alloys, Plasma Spray, Thermal Barrier Coatings, Thermal Fatigue, Yttria-Zirconia
