Through a national input subsidy program, coinciding with better rainfall conditions, maize production doubled in 2006 and almost tripled in 2007.

Key objectives are to share the latest scientific evidence on how to reduce food loss and waste and thereby contribute to global food and nutrition security. Secondly, to provide recommendations for expanded global and national actions, including public and private investments and initiatives by citizens, corporations, governments, and international organizations. Moreover, the alliance of actors must become broader to make significant improvements globally in reducing FLAW.
