Food loss is a complex issue, often with multiple and interrelated causes operating at different levels. This e-learning course introduces the FAO Case study methodology for the analysis of critical food loss points. This method focuses on revealing and analyzing the multidimensional causes of losses in selected food supply chains, identification of critical loss points, and recommendation of feasible food loss reduction solutions and strategies.
The target audience for this course includes:
This course illustrates the linkages between agriculture, food systems and nutrition. Starting from two realistic scenarios, the course describes benefits and opportunities for integrating nutrition into food system policies, investments and programmes.

This case study present the demonstration of how the 5D World map can be used as a visual tool for addressing interlinkages. Taking advantage of the various areas of research of the students, the interlinkages among these areas were studied by using the 5D world Map. Starting from the aim of doubling agricultural productivity (SDG 2.3), the interlinkages with the inter-linkages with biodiversity and forest cover (SDG 15.1), climate change (SDG 13), Water quality and efficiency (SDG 6.3 and 6.4) are investigated.
Livestock husbandry is a global contributor of socio-economy well-being by ensuring food security nevertheless, highly vulnerable to Climate Change impacts. In Mongolia, massive amounts of livestock die as extreme weather strikes.
The case study aims to provide a future reference on SDGs contribution as: (1) Achieve food security and promote sustainable agriculture that aims for zero hunger in the future; (2) Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; and (3) Adapting farming for climate change that aims to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This case study presents the effective system to support the sustainable agriculture production that can be helped to increase high quality and quantity agriculture products.
