No Food Left Behind
The report analyzes food loss in the US specialty crop sector, contrasting the high loss rates of the fresh market with the relatively lower rates of the vertically integrated processing market. It highlights how contract-based purchasing and mechanical harvesting in the processing sector reduce in-field waste, while the fresh market suffers from strict cosmetic standards and labor shortages. The document proposes using real-time measurement and alternative harvesting models, such as the Whole Crops Harvest pilot, to rescue surplus produce for secondary markets and donations.
