33% of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted every year before people consume it. Bringing this number down takes innovation all along the supply chain, from improved seed technology to digital tools to speed up shipping: https://bit.ly/2G0BgGD

Controlling food waste is a challenge. There are studies that bring an even greater number of wastes, of the 4 billion tons of food that are produced in the world, almost 2 billion tons or 50% are wasted. A reality that if corrected would bring important and positive impacts. We are more than ever looking for: Adaptation, Innovation, Productive efficiency, Logistic efficiency, Operational efficiency ... Efficiency ... Efficiency ...

This means that we can increase world food production substantially by just eliminating food wastage and by improving the supply chain. If we were to increase production through better methodology, these factors will increase world food production exponentially, This does not even take into account the vast hectares of arable land that could be added and are now lying fallow .

Food loss and waste is a huge issue - agreed. I am wondering what new things BCS is doing to address this issue. The best I can tell from the link, you are breeding and engineering more resilient plants, fruits and vegetables. That's been your core business for a long time, but somewhat controversial as far as GMOs, seed patents, and newly acquired chemicals like RoundUP are concerned. It feels more like a re-framing of your business and not a new strategy or initiative. Happy to listen to any counterpoints.

Wow. I knew there were losses, I just didn't realize how significant they were. When you take into consideration the production cost and all the starving people in the world right now, 33% is a figure we really need to cut down.

Companies like Imperfect Produce are helping by collecting and selling produce and other food stuffs that most retailers won’t take or are surplus keeping the food out of the dumps.

Surprisingly when people are dying of hunger and Malnutrition, we inspite of having so much investment in infra are still wasting 35% food. The issue is of the middle men and there being no constructive wholesale distribution system available. Inspite of having so much production we are bearing the inflation in food prices. To add up, we are all talking of increasing the productivity by usage of scientific and organic farming and selling our ideas but for what - more wastage.

This confirms once again that world hunger is not merely a matter of "not enough food to go around". Enough is being produced as it is; it is just not distributed correctly. That can be due to where in the world it is grown, and also because of politics and commercial interests taking center stage. Not even mentioning that most of the corn and soybean production capacity is dedicated to growing animal feed.......

To showcase the art of data-driven farming, we asked farmers to help us create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. We submitted their photos and phrases of their farms to an #ArtificialIntelligence art generator, resulting in beautiful works of art. We did this to show how new innovations, like AI, are becoming an integral part of farming operations. From accelerating research in the lab to analyzing data on the field, digital farming is at the forefront of modern agriculture. If these tools can create something as beautiful as this, imagine what they can do – and are doing – for farmers. #DigitalAgriculture

In the world of digital farming, farmers have increasing access to a plethora of rich, meaningful – and sometimes overwhelming – data. That’s where #ArtificialIntelligence comes in, working with the equipment, data, analytics, hardware, software and unique algorithms already in place to help farmers make informed decisions about their operations. These AI-based #DigitalTools are enhancing decision-making in almost every field. Farmers can select the best seeds, apply crop protection exactly where it is needed or diagnose plant diseases threatening their crops in real-time – ultimately producing enough outputs while using fewer natural resources. #DigitalAgriculture

Norman Borlaug’s plant breeding innovations helped save countless people from starvation just 50 years ago. Inspired by this legacy, Julie Borlaug, President of the Borlaug Foundation, joined our Head of Global Stakeholder Affairs and Strategic Partnerships, Natasha Santos, to explore how #AgInnovation could have a similar impact on global #FoodSecurity today. Tune in to hear how experts around the world are working together to build a better, more resilient food system: https://lnkd.in/gBJU7_fd #SciencePodcast

It can take hours of research and lab work to diagnose a plant disease. But for many #smallholder farmers, all it takes is a smartphone. See how better tools on the farm benefit us all: http://spr.ly/6041zstU5 #DigitalAgriculture

Partnerships are powerful – they help us and farmers integrate and improve #DigitalTools on the farm. Need a recent example? Keep reading: - In a new, outcome-based program, farmers are conducting on-farm research through the Climate FieldView platform to collect data and track the performance of Delaro fungicide. - Field trials conducted through the company’s Delaro Showcase, testing the efficacy of the Delaro fungicide, are assessing the farmer benefit of risk-sharing based on the product’s performance. #DigitalAgriculture
