“…So the moisture content in the storage condition as well as the rice variety is an important factor in preventing postharvest losses (PHLs) of stored crops. For the improvement of food security while reducing environmental impact and providing economic benefits to the different stakeholders in the food supply chain, the prevention of food loss is a potential strategy (Nicastro et al, 2021). During storage, rice is vulnerable to infestation by a variety of insects, especially S. cerealella (Olivier), the angoumois grain moth (Hamed and Nadeem, 2012).…”

The food security programme is negatively impacted by postharvest losses (PHLs). In terms of providing food for a nation, proper grain postharvest (PHV) storage is more crucial than intense and widespread farming. Reducing post-harvest losses of food crops is essential to raising agricultural production sustainably. Each year, insects and diseases destroy or harm a fifth or more of stored food grains in many regions of the world. The angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver), is a major stored grain pest of rice. Control of Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) is still much dependent on the use of toxic chemicals though there is a chance of residual toxicity to the non-target organism. Rice, wheat, and corn are just a few examples of grains that are crucial to the economic stability of many nations. Cereals like rice, wheat and corn play an important role in the economic stability of many countries. Some indigenous rice varieties of rice are reported to be tolerant of this pest. This study was undertaken to identify West Bengal indigenous rice varieties susceptible to the stored grain pest S. cerealella infestation at low and high moisture storage conditions.

“…Developing countries often face food losses and waste during agricultural production [ 111 ]. According to Nicastro and Carillo [ 112 ], various factors contribute to food loss during harvest: pests, weather conditions, and the place of production and type of crop.…”

Developing countries will be home to 85% of the world’s population by 2030. Hence, it is important to ensure food security for them. This effort is not easy, as the number of undernourished people (NUP) in the world has increased. We investigated the impact of food and non-production factors on the NUP in developing countries. This study employed secondary data from 57 developing countries between 2002 and 2018. These countries come from three regions, namely Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. One-step and two-step generalized method of moments (sys-GMM) models were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the food production index, cereal import dependency ratio, economic globalization index, and human capital index had different effects on the NUP in each region. The excellent news is that corruption control can help developing countries minimize their NUP. Based on the findings, we propose efforts to improve physical and economical food access and control corruption, and developing country governments and the international community must demonstrate a strong commitment to reducing the prevalence of undernourishment.

“…AI-and ML-based models and technologies are being used for sustainable livestock farming, such as monitoring animal health and well-being, predicting disease, and optimizing dietary supply, intake, and consumption of nutrients [46][47][48][49][50][51]. To determine where and how to target efforts most effectively, it is necessary to capture where along the food chain, in which foods, and in which countries the greatest losses occur [52]. However, the lack of comprehensive data on the amount of food wasted makes it difficult to determine the effectiveness of prevention and reduction efforts [53].…”

The Contribution of Data-Driven Technologies in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

et al. 2022

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out to improve the quality of life of people in developed, emerging, and developing countries by covering social and economic aspects, with a focus on environmental sustainability. At the same time, data-driven technologies influence our lives in all areas and have caused fundamental economical and societal changes. This study presents a comprehensive literature review on how data-driven approaches have enabled or inhibited the successful achievement of the 17 SDGs to date. Our findings show that data-driven analytics and tools contribute to achieving the 17 SDGs, e.g., by making information more reliable, supporting better-informed decision-making, implementing data-based policies, prioritizing actions, and optimizing the allocation of resources. Based on a qualitative content analysis, results were aggregated into a conceptual framework, including the following categories: (1) uses of data-driven methods (e.g., monitoring, measurement, mapping or modeling, forecasting, risk assessment, and planning purposes), (2) resulting positive effects, (3) arising challenges, and (4) recommendations for action to overcome these challenges. Despite positive effects and versatile applications, problems such as data gaps, data biases, high energy consumption of computational resources, ethical concerns, privacy, ownership, and security issues stand in the way of achieving the 17 SDGs.
