This session explores the causes and impacts of crop loss and the need for an evidence-based information system to tackle it.

The session hosted by the Global Burden of Crop Loss initiative brings together a diverse group of scientists and stakeholders to explore causes and impacts of crop loss and the need for an evidence-based information system to tackle it. Reducing crop losses is critical to meeting the increasing demand for food without increasing the environmental impact of agriculture. Despite the severe impacts of crop losses on food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and national economies, our scientific understanding of the problem is limited.We propose a global scientific collaboration to close this evidence gap and underpin evidence-based policy to tackle the challenge.
