Article Abstract:

A contemporary archaeologist in the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology at the University of Arizona conducted contemporary archaeology studies on the American food system with focus on food losses. The research conducted in the Salinas Valley in California revealed that retail sector losses are nearly $30 billion where almost $20 billion in fast food alone, $20 billion in the farming industry and more than $40 billion in households.

Food loss on the farm

Article Abstract:

The area of farming food loss, which is noticed in the Salinas Valley of California, the nation's primary center for growing and processing fresh vegetables, is highlighted. The majority of the nation's fresh lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots are grown and lost in Salinas Valley due to walk-by's, when farmers decide not to harvest a crop, or the production of higher value products like salad mixes or broccoli crowns.

Analyzing retail food loss

Article Abstract:

Losses of food at small restaurants, convenience stores and fast food places that satisfy the American demand for prepared and instant food are evaluated to curtail the food loss. Some of the reasons given for food loss from data recovered were due to theft, near absence of training and sufficient management, miscalculating demand and preparing too much food and a lack of food loss training and education.
