The findings of a recently released study from scientific and technology research, development and implementation organisation the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) shows that an estimated 10.3-million tonnes a year of edible food, earmarked for human consumption in South Africa, do not reach the human stomach. That is about 34% of local food production; however, because South Africa is a net exporter of food, the losses and waste is equivalent to 45% of the available food supply in the country.
