A guide to the application of a multidimensional solutions approach to food loss and waste reduction in aquatic value chains

This technical paper describes a multidimensional solutions (MDS) approach to reduce food loss and waste (FLW), which, whilst more challenging to apply, is felt will likely lead to more successful interventions. An overview of the MDS concept and a description of a process that can be used to develop long-term multidimensional FLW solutions strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sector are provided. Case studies are included, as well as observations on given application issues.
