Özet

Food loss is one of the factors that lead to severe problems in food security, environment, global and regional and national economies around the world today. The issue of food loss reduction has recently achieved much public attention to combat global hunger and improve food security. There is a growing trend about determining food loss prevention and recovery programs all around the world. Similarly, the number of studies that focus on food loss issues has been increased but these studies mostly give attention to consumer/household stages. Thus, this paper aims to gather and synthesize all food loss drivers that are found in empirical studies. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was conducted. We examined articles from different journals, which are published between 2011 and 2018. Results of the systematic literature review revealed that four drivers cause food loss in the production stage; five drivers lead to food loss in the processing stage and five drivers are the reason for food loss in the distribution and retailing stage.
