FOOD IRRADIATION PROCESSING

A quarter of the world's food production is lost after harvesting. Losses occur where
the food is grown, during distribution, storage, processing and marketing, and in the
home. Losses are especially important in developing countries where transportation
and storage systems are not modern, ambient temperatures and humidity are high,
and the need for food is greatest.

The easiest way to increase availability of food is to reduce losses: it is much easier
to increase supply by 10-20% by reducing losses than it is to improve the yield of
food crops by a few per cent. Protection of food against losses due to insect
infestation, harmful micro-organisms, and other spoilage agents remains a challenge
to mankind. Most governments now recognize the need to take action. As the
population of the world increases, programmes to reduce food losses are being
given high priority.
