What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The World Bank estimates that nearly 30 per cent of the world’s food supply is lost or wasted due to inefficiencies across production, transport, storage, and consumption. The World Food Programme and the World Bank are working to address these challenges by using real-time information, such as satellite imagery and weather forecasts, to make procurement decisions more precise.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high rate of food loss highlights major inefficiencies in global supply chains and food security. For India, fragmented landholdings and inadequate market infrastructure continue to affect farm incomes, despite agriculture supporting 46.1 per cent of the country’s workforce.
