Abstract

High-income countries are expected to be more efficient in preventing food waste (FW) along the value chain compared to low- and middle-income countries, with the exception of the consumer stage. However, it is still a problem to be solved, especially in fresh food due to its perishability and in livestock due to its nutritional and economic impact. Following this prioritization, wild-caught fish was defined as a weak point for FW in the food system of high-income countries. Spain was used as a representative country for high- countries' fish sector due to its international trading and production/consumption ratios. The length of food supply chains (FSCs) was identified as a factor influencing FW incidence, highlighting short FSCs as a model for reducing FW. Regulations have been targeted as drivers but also as prevention and mitigation factors for FW. Technological tools and innovations already available in the market can be used to reduce FW, but there are still barriers affecting their adoption.

高收入国家的食物浪费：西班牙水产品价值链案例研究

与中低收入国家相比，高收入国家在防止价值链上的食物浪费（FW）方面预计会更有效率，但消费者阶段除外。然而，这仍然是一个有待解决的问题，尤其是在新鲜食品方面，因为其易腐烂；在牲畜方面，因为其营养和经济影响。根据这一优先顺序，野生捕捞鱼类被定义为高收入国家食品系统中的一个薄弱环节。西班牙因其国际贸易和生产/消费比率而被作为高收入国家水产品领域的代表国家。食品供应链（FSCs）的长度被认为是影响 FW 发生率的一个因素，强调短的 FSCs 是减少 FW 的一种模式。法规既是 FW 的驱动因素，也是 FW 的预防和缓解因素。市场上已有的技术工具和创新可用于减少化石燃料，但仍有一些障碍影响其采用。

期刊介绍： This journal provides an international forum for the publication of papers in the areas of fisheries science, fishing technology, fisheries management and relevant socio-economics. The scope covers fisheries in salt, brackish and freshwater systems, and all aspects of associated ecology, environmental aspects of fisheries, and economics. Both theoretical and practical papers are acceptable, including laboratory and field experimental studies relevant to fisheries. Papers on the conservation of exploitable living resources are welcome. Review and Viewpoint articles are also published. As the specified areas inevitably impinge on and interrelate with each other, the approach of the journal is multidisciplinary, and authors are encouraged to emphasise the relevance of their own work to that of other disciplines. The journal is intended for fisheries scientists, biological oceanographers, gear technologists, economists, managers, administrators, policy makers and legislators.
