One-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted. By preventing smallholder farmers from losing large portions of their crops after harvest, WFP helps increase the availability of food worldwide. This is a vital step toward meeting the world’s growing food needs, and one of the pillars of the Zero Hunger Challenge. Below are several documents on WFP's work to reduce food losses throughout the value chain as part of its efforts to support smallholder farmers and agricultural markets.
