The conference seeks a holistic approach to the role of water in the food supply-chain The integration of sustainability issues in supply chain management has been increasingly and more prominently addressed in the last 10 years. Water is considered to be one of the most critical resources in production and manufacturing of globally traded goods. Research suggests that there is considerable wasteage from production of raw materials to consumption. Current post-harvest losses are estimated at 20-50%, with supply-chain losses being the dominant form of loss in developing countries while food waste at the retail and household levels dominating in industrialised countries.
