      abstract = {Losses at the farm level are among the least understood  aspects of food loss and waste throughout the value chain.  Estimates differ greatly. Depending on the crop, geographic  region and infrastructure available, drivers behind on-farm  losses differ greatly as well, as do the solutions  necessary to address these losses. This complexity makes it  difficult to identify just where to apply interventions to  reduce food loss at the farm level. This presentation seeks  to examine what is known about on-farm losses, identify  major gaps in knowledge, and propose steps forward to help  demystify the nature of food loss at the production level.  A special emphasis is placed on quantification and  measurement of food loss, since the lack of data available  around this issue is a major barrier to understanding the  best approaches for reducing food loss. The focus then  shifts to solutions to food loss, which will be further  highlighted through case studies being offered by the next  speakers in this session.},
