How vegetables can stay for 30 days without spoilage (The Guardian)

February 07, 2022


The Guardian (Nigeria) published an article on food spoilage. Food spoilage, which is the loss of food meant for human consumption due to inefficiency along the food supply chains, reduces the net availability of food for human consumption. Lack of food, because of spoilage, intensifies poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.  IFPRI estimates that a 10 percent reduction in global food loss could result in an 11 percent decrease in hunger and a four percent decrease in child malnutrition worldwide. In Nigeria, a 35 percent reduction in post-harvest tomato loss alone would create a supply of vitamin A for up to 1.1 million children per day.
