Global food insecurity is a growing issue. At a time when the world’s population is increasing and agricultural production is challenged by climate change, it is estimated that around a third of the food produced globally is lost or wasted. This book examines the problem of food loss and waste (FLW) and the policies that could be enacted to remedy this fundamental global concern.

‘ ... this clearly written synthesis is essential for university and public libraries in English-speaking institutions.’
– Yves Laberge, Electronic Green Journal

‘This book is compulsory reading for students, researchers, academics, and policymakers working in the fields of food security, agricultural law and policy, rural economics, climate change, and environmental management.’
– Kadambot H.M. Siddique, The Developing Economies

‘Food waste is a problem of staggering global size. In this tour de force Michael Blakeney unravels the networked complexity of the problem and advances creative regulatory solutions for helping to reduce the scale of the problem.’
– Peter Drahos, European University Institute, Italy

‘The subject of food waste is increasingly compelling the attention of policy makers and stakeholders along the food supply chain. In the absence of a developed literature on the subject, Professor Blakeney’s book provides a comprehensive review of the drivers of food waste and remedies for its minimization. It also provides valuable insights into the formulation of food waste policy.’
