United Nations First Sustainable Development Goal:
Eradication of Extreme Poverty (UNDP, 2015) French National Assembly
New Legislation: Supermarkets are not allowed
to waste food anymore (Chrisafis, 2015)
Records of wasted food in developed countries – Particularly in North America (USA)
Food Insecurity: 2013 Survey USA Department of Agriculture: Around 6.8 million households with low food security
(Coleman-Jensen, Gregory, Singh, 2014, p.5)

“Food Insecurity is a prevalent risk to the growth, health, cognitive, and behavioral potential of America’s poor and near-
poor children. […] invisible epidemic of a serious condition” (Cook & Frank, 2008, p.11)
In 2013: 14.3% of American households were
food insecure5.6% with very low
food security
Figure 1 Trends in the prevalence of food insecurity and very low food security in U.S. households, 1995-2013 (source: Coleman-Jensen et Al., 2014, p.12).Prevalence rates for 1996 and 1997 were adjusted for the estimated effects of differences in data collection screening protocols used in those years.

4 billion metric tons food generated worldwide annually30-40% (1.2-2 billion tons) of food is wasted(Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 2013)
3 principal emerging groups across the world:
• Fully developed, post-industrial societies (EU, North A.)
• Late-Stage developing Nations, industrializing rapidly (e.g:
China, Brazil)
• Newly Developing Countries (African Continent)
Fruits & Vegetables Rejected for their physical appearance by retailers:
e.g: up to 30% of the UK’s vegetable crop is never harvested as a result. Globally
retailers generate 1.6 million ton of food waste /year in this way (IMECHE, 2013)

“Americans throw out more food than plastic, paper, metal and glass” (Ferdman, 2014, online)
60 million of food waste was generated in the US in 2010From 25-40% of US food grown will never be consumed

Further research
Few or no empirical study in Management & Supply Chain Management
Research questions:How could food supply chain innovate to decrease food poverty?
• What is the situation in developed countries (with a focus on
Europe and USA countries) on food waste management?
• What are the current innovations created along the food supply
chain to decrease food waste management and contribute to
lower food poverty?
