Reducción de la pérdida y desperdicio de alimentos. Memoria de casos exitosos, aprendizajes y buenas prácticas

Los Casos de éxito, aprendizajes y buenas prácticas para la Reducción de la Pérdida de Alimentos surge como un proyecto de divulgación del Comité de Desarrollo Sostenible de ILSI Mesoamérica en alianza con la Red Costarricense para la Disminución de Pérdida y Desperdicio de Alimentos (Red PDA CR). Su propósito es visibilizar y divulgar conocimientos y buenas prácticas que se han generado a partir de experiencias en la lucha contra la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos en países de Latinoamérica, con el fin de contribuir al bienestar general de la sociedad y al cuidado del medio ambiente, a través de la atención concreta de este fenómeno.

Abstract

At the end of October 2024, ILSI Europe brought together industry and academic experts from different fields to identify research gaps and challenges in nutritional interventions supporting healthy ageing. The objectives of the Healthy Ageing Working Group workshop were to address the urgent need to define ageing outcomes and associated biomarkers, determine the trajectory of functional ageing across the lifespan, and leverage technology to tailor nutritional and lifestyle interventions for healthy ageing. This brief report presents the key points highlighted during this workshop.

Abstract

In its simplest form, risk is the product of hazard, i.e. toxic potency of a chemical substance, and exposure, or dose. Hazard-based decision-making is based solely on hazard without any consideration of exposure. The development of mitigation strategies should prioritise mycotoxins that regularly occur at undesirable levels in commonly consumed commodities, wherein both the toxicological profiles and effectiveness of mitigation are understood with a reasonable degree of certainty. This manuscript presents a framework for risk prioritisation of mycotoxins in food, integrating hazard assessment, exposure evaluation, and for the first time appraisal of mitigation strategies. More specifically, by (1) identifying the mycotoxins relevant for each food categories, by (2) assigning a severity score for the pivotal effect of each mycotoxin; by (3) calculating the respective food-categories' contributions to the combined exposures and by (4) assessing the existing mitigation strategies, the framework aims to prioritise mycotoxins based on their health risks and potential for effective risk mitigation. As a proof of concept, the framework was applied in two wheat-based food commodities - bread and pasta -, focusing on Ochratoxin A (OTA), Deoxynivalenol (DON), and Zearalenone (ZEN), revealing that OTA in bread is the highest priority concern, followed by DON in bread.

La pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos (PDA) constituyen un síntoma del mal funcionamiento de los sistemas agroalimentarios, y tiene múltiples implicaciones en el plano ambiental, la seguridad alimentaria y la economía de los actores de estos sistemas. Dada la relevancia del problema, la meta 12.3 de los ODS propone "de aquí a 2030, reducir a la mitad el desperdicio de alimentos per cápita mundial en la venta al por menor y a nivel de los consumidores y reducir las pérdidas de alimentos en las cadenas de producción y suministro, incluidas las pérdidas posteriores a la cosecha". Mesoamérica no ha ignorado este llamado por lo que desde distintos sectores (público, académico, privado, ciudadano) sabemos que han generado acciones para prevenir y disminuir las PDA. Sin embargo, no siempre se logran plasmar todos esos esfuerzos los cuales constituyen buenas prácticas, casos de éxito, retos y procesos de comprensión del fenómeno.

Los Casos de éxito, aprendizajes y buenas prácticas para la Reducción de la Pérdida de Alimentos surge como un proyecto de divulgación del Comité de Desarrollo Sostenible de ILSI Mesoamérica en alianza con la Red Costarricense para la Disminución de Pérdida y Desperdicio de Alimentos (Red PDA CR).

Su propósito es visibilizar y divulgar conocimientos y buenas prácticas que se han generado a partir de experiencias en la lucha contra la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos en países de Latinoamérica, con el fin de contribuir al bienestar general de la sociedad y al cuidado del medio ambiente, a través de la atención concreta de este fenómeno.

Tras un periodo de convocatoria, los casos recibidos fueron revisados por la Coordinación del Comité de Desarrollo Sostenible de ILSI Mesoamérica, y trasladados para valorar su publicación al Comité científico voluntario, mismo que fue conformado por personas de diversos sectores de la sociedad (academia, industria, tercer sector), con experiencia en la temática abordada.
