Postharvest losses and waste in developed and less developed countries: opportunities to improve resource use

Journal ArticleDOI
Total and per capita value of food loss in the United States
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented estimates of the amount and value of food loss for more than 200 individual foods in the United States using the US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service's Loss-Adjusted Food Availability data.

Postharvest losses of fruit and vegetables during retail and in consumers’ homes: Quantifications, causes, and means of prevention
