Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are essential for human nutrition. But they’re also beneficial to the food system: the fruit and vegetable sector can help benefit global efforts to generate environmental sustainability, increase biodiversity, and improve the livelihoods of farmers and employees along the value chains. Investments in traceability innovations and cold chain infrastructures can reduce post-harvest loss in the fruit and vegetable sector.
