Zusammenfassung: 
In 2023, between 713 and 757 million people were estimated to be undernourished and nearly 3 billion people were unable to afford healthy diet. The FAO predicts that by 2030, over half of those facing hunger in the world will be concentrated in Africa. Yet, 14% of food is lost and a further 19% of food is wasted globally. In Africa, the percentage of food loss in fruits and vegetables is up to 50%. The issue is particularly pronounced in countries where inadequate storage, post-harvest capacity, cold chain, transportation infrastructure and fragmented supply chains exacerbate the problem. Identifying the stage(s) along the supply chain where food loss occurs, addressing its root causes, and designing sustainable solutions to prevent and reduce food loss present opportunities to improve food systems across Africa. By adopting a mixed-methods approach of a literature review, key informant interviews, semi-structured interviews, and observational analysis, this report assesses the root causes of food loss in African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs) in Kisumu, Kenya. It provides a suite of targeted, multifaceted policy recommendations aimed at addressing these causes and providing a foundation for further research and policy interventions.
