In our interconnected world, food-related challenges have become increasingly complex. With the global population growing and demands for diverse food products rising, food safety and food loss have gained unprecedented importance. Despite producing enough food to feed the entire global population, hunger still affects more than 828 million people worldwide in 2021. During the twenty-first century, concerns regarding food losses and waste have surged, leading to far-reaching consequences for the economy, ecology, and society. Food spoilage leads to significant material losses and wastes resources such as labor, water, energy, and land invested in food production. These losses occur at various stages, from primary production to processing, storage, and transportation, excluding retail stores.
