Original: Food Loss and Waste Awareness Day: Nutrient-dense foods lost first, driving hidden hunger
On Food Loss and Waste Awareness Day, nutrition experts are highlighting that nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables and animal-source products are among the first to be lost or wasted in food systems. Commentators warn this waste contributes to 'hidden hunger' — micronutrient deficiencies affecting millions worldwide — and are calling for stronger action to reduce losses across supply chains.
Why now: The observance of Food Loss and Waste Awareness Day is prompting fresh discussion about food waste and its link to micronutrient deficiencies.
