DESCRIPTION:With over 30% of the food produced across the world lost or was
 ted\, policy makers are increasingly recognizing food waste as a key issue 
 in finding solutions for food insecurity and environmental degradation. In 
 a new book\, Wasted Potential: Tackling Food Loss and Waste Across Transfor
 ming Food Systems (Springer\, 2025)\, researchers at the Tata-Cornell Insti
 tute for Agriculture and Nutrition (TCI) provide an evidence-based framewor
 k for addressing food loss and waste as a means to improve access to health
 y diets. \n\nIn this "Chats in the Stacks" book talk\, TCI alumna Jocelyn B
 oiteau and TCI director Prabhu Pingali will draw from their book to propose
  a policy agenda that builds demand for diverse\, nutritious foods in order
  to incentivize the reduction of waste while mitigating tradeoffs between f
 ood security\, environmental sustainability\, and socioeconomic welfare. Th
 eir discussion will highlight the contributions of specific policies aimed 
 at decreasing food waste for greater food security and sustainability—from 
 stimulating demand and improving access for safe\, nutritious foods\; to in
 creasing investments in innovative processing\, packaging\, and cold-chain 
 systems.\n\nBoth in-person and virtual attendance at this book talk will be
  possible. For virtual attendance\, registration is required here. \n\nThis
  book talk is part of Cornell University Library's Chats in the Stacks book
  talk program. More information about other book talks featured this semest
 er is available here.
