food-waste-reduction
Food waste reduction encompasses strategies and technologies aimed at minimizing the loss of edible plant-based products across the supply chain, from harvest through consumption. In plant science, this field drives research into post-harvest biology, including the molecular mechanisms behind ripening, senescence, and decay, with the goal of extending shelf life and preserving nutritional quality. Understanding and manipulating these biological processes offers pathways to reduce the staggering global losses of plant-derived foods, with direct implications for food security and sustainable agriculture.
