Question 1 of 10
1. Question
1 pointsCategory: EnglishDirection: Q(1-10) Cloze Test
The SDGs have clearly put the spotlight on food loss and waste, and we are beginning to see more (1) discussion on the subject. At the recently held Food Congress in Dusseldorf in early May 2017, the focus was on identifying possible solutions for both — through better farming (2), use of technology, better information, change in consumer behaviour, etc. Estimates of “food waste and food loss” range between 30 and 50% for both developed and emerging countries.
In developed countries “food waste” happens more at the consumer household level, where more is purchased than consumed; and in emerging economies, it is the supply chain that leads to “food loss” during harvest, storage or in transit, largely due to poor infrastructure and (3) aligned processes. As an example, India’s cold storage requirement is 66 million tonnes, and the national storage capacity currently available is approximately 30 million tonnes. Investment in creating adequate cold storage capacity alone will stem food loss (4). With increasing wealth, India is, ironically, home to both food waste and food loss.In either scenario, food that is produced (using (5) and critical resources such as water) but not consumed is a (6) waste which we cannot afford to ignore. Food loss is also nutrition loss, productivity loss and therefore GDP loss. The 40% food loss in India translates to approximately $7.5 billion, and for a country where agriculture contributes 15% to GDP and employs 53% of the workforce, this is clearly (7).
These are serious statistics, and unless there is an effort to address food loss factors systemically, the state of health and nutrition of our people will continue to be inadequate, as food loss means loss of (8) such as calories, fats, proteins; but even more alarming, it means loss of micronutrients because foods that are rich in micronutrients are also (9) fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, dairy, etc. Additionally, with urbanisation and rising incomes, the length of the food value chain also increases, as what people eat becomes less and less connected to where they (10).1)__________________
