What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

TechnoServe is implementing the NutriSave program in Kenya, focusing on food loss reduction within the agricultural supply chain. The program is funded by the Gates Foundation and the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Current estimates suggest that about nine million tonnes of food produced in Kenya is lost or wasted annually, equating to an economic loss of approximately Sh72 billion.
