Generating Food Systems Solutions Partnerships & Development Contact Why the Consortium is Needed Food loss and waste is a global problem that negatively impacts the bottom line of businesses and farmers, wastes limited resources, contributes to food insecurity and damages the environment. We launched this consortium in 2019 with a $2. 78 million contribution, which is matched by consortium participants for a $5.
56 million investment in pioneering food loss and waste research. The consortium includes strategic public-private partnerships that bring together global thought leaders and experts with industry and other organizations. Together, participants address social, economic and environmental impacts from food loss and waste.
The consortium works collaboratively to increase adoption of the YieldWise Initiative model, a project to reduce food loss in developing nations and food waste in developed markets. The consortium also provides farmers across the globe with technology and strategies to use resources efficiently, allowing farmers to gain more value from their crops.
These technologies and strategies stimulate local economic growth and improve access to affordable, healthy food. In addition to developing strategies to reduce food waste and loss, the consortium builds the academic and entrepreneurial capacity of the next generation of scientists. The consortium pairs researchers and students with private and public sectors professionals for mentorship and training.
