Losses in the food chain – from field to household consumption
Click here, or on the graphic, for full resolution. Losses in the food chain – from field to household consumption . i.e., before
conversion of food to feed. After discounting the losses, conversions
and wastage at the various stages, roughly 2,800 kcal are
available for supply (mixture of animal and vegetal foods) and,
at the end of the chain, 2,000 kcal on average – only 43% of the
potential edible crop harvest – are available for consumption.
