In Quebec, numerous initiatives have been undertaken by various stakeholders to reduce food loss and waste (FLW) in the bio-food supply chain. However, very little is known about their effectiveness in reducing the FLW and even less about their sectoral impacts. The main research objective of this project is to investigate how the organizations operating at different levels of the bio-food supply chain evaluate the reduction effect of these FLW initiatives. An exploratory approach is adopted to identify the indicators employed as well as the impacts that the FLW initiatives generate at different supply chain levels. This research will support the development of improved initiatives by recommending more efficient methods and indicators that would reinforce the reduction effect of the FLW initiatives.
