Kenya faces a significant challenge with up to 40% of its food production, valued at Sh72 billion, being lost annually, while 15 million people experience hunger.

• Kenya loses an estimated 9 million tonnes of food each year.
• The issue is being highlighted ahead of the Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, from September 1 to 4.
• Addressing food loss and waste is crucial for improving food security, strengthening livelihoods, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
