Reducing food loss through sustainable business models and agricultural innovation systems

Subhanjan Sengupta, Sonal Choudhary, Raymond Obayi, Rakesh Nayak · 2024 · Supply Chain Management An International Journal

Summary. This study identifies how sustainable business models integrated with agricultural innovation systems reduce food loss in postharvest supply chains. Researchers found that value losses cascade through supply chains via multiplier and stacking effects. They propose four strategies: redefining ownership as stewardship, enabling beneficiary identification, strengthening value addition, and building community capacity. The findings emphasize networked approaches combining agricultural innovation systems with sustainable business models to address early-stage food loss.
