Food loss and waste (FLW) are major issues in the Philippines, affecting food security, the economy, and the environment. Losses occur across the food supply chain due to inadequate post-harvest practices, poor logistics, and household waste. Solutions include improving storage, enhancing logistics, and promoting policies like the Food Waste Reduction Act. Community programs such as food banks and composting further help reduce waste while addressing hunger and promoting sustainability.
