Abstract

In recent years, the problem of food waste has attracted considerable interest from food producers, processors, retailers, and consumers alike. Food waste is considered not only a sustainability problem related to food security, but also an economic problem since it directly impacts the profitability of the whole food supply chain. In developed countries, consumers are one of the main contributors to food waste and ultimately pay for all wastes produced throughout the food supply chain. To secure food and reduce food waste, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the various sources of food wastes throughout the food supply chain. The present review examines various reports currently in the literature and quantifies waste levels and examines the trends in wastage for various food sectors such as fruit and vegetable, fisheries, meat and poultry, grain, milk, and dairy. Factors contributing to food waste, effective cost/benefit food waste utilisation methods, sustainability and environment considerations, and public acceptance are identified as hurdles in preventing large-scale food waste processing. Thus, we highlight the need for further research to identify and report food waste so that government regulators and food supply chain stakeholders can actively develop effective waste utilisation practices.

TL;DR

This review synthesizes global literature on food waste across terrestrial and aquatic food supply chains, quantifying waste levels and examining utilisation and management options. It argues that food waste is a major sustainability, economic, and environmental problem, but that reliable data, cost-effective ecofriendly reprocessing, and public acceptance remain key barriers.

Key findings

  • Food waste occurs throughout the food supply chain; approximately one-third of all food produced today goes to landfill, and food lost or discarded each year accounts for 3.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions globally.
  • Fruits and vegetables are the most wasted food category. Examples include Switzerland, where around 47% of all vegetables produced are wasted; Germany, where fruits and vegetables account for 43% of household waste; the UK, where potatoes account for around 0.4 million tonnes (10%) of total annual waste; and Australia, where consumers throw away around AU$1.1 billion (US$0.84 billion) worth of fruits and vegetables yearly.
  • Grain waste varies widely: rice waste averages about 15% of global production; storage waste ranges from less than 1% in Malawi to 12–13% in Bangladesh and 3–6% in Malaysia; China’s grain supply chain waste is 19.0% ± 5.8%, with consumers accounting for 7.3% ± 4.8%; India loses around 20–30% of total grain production, costing about US$14 billion annually and potentially feeding at least 48 million people.
  • Animal and aquatic waste is also large: USA meat waste is valued at US$83,127 million and poultry waste at US$69,100 million, with consumers responsible for 35% and 37% respectively; UK meat processing accounts for 56% of all wastes; 14 European countries report meat processing wastes of 35–42%; fish waste is around 130 million tonnes yearly, with 17.9–39.5 million tonnes of whole fish discarded annually and up to 66% of processed fish thrown away; 59% of fish waste goes to landfill and only 39% is reused or incinerated; USA consumer fish waste rose from 16% in 1995 to 31% in 2010.

Methods

  • The paper is a review that examines reports in the literature and quantifies waste levels and trends for fruit and vegetable, fisheries, meat and poultry, grain, milk and dairy sectors.
  • It discusses factors contributing to food waste, cost/benefit utilisation methods, sustainability and environmental considerations, and public acceptance.
  • The analysis is a narrative synthesis supported by tables and figures; no primary data collection or formal meta-analysis is described.

Limitations

  • The paper states that reliable food waste data are lacking, studies are often not comparable because they assess different stages, waste types, and protocols, and business confidentiality limits detailed supply-chain information. It also notes that some data are almost 40 years old, that many reports do not give individual crop wastes, and that gaps exist for central/West Africa, developed-country grain waste, and aquatic plant food waste.
  • Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not describe a systematic search strategy, inclusion criteria, or quality appraisal, and many figures rely on secondary sources that may be outdated or regionally incomplete.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
