Fish loss assessment methods

This e-learning course is intended for programme officers and technical specialists, as well as extension agents, who are concerned with loss and waste prevention and reduction. The course also targets academicians and researchers who want to learn more about the topic, in order to design research as well as teach practical courses focused on food loss and waste in fish value chains.

• Describing the purpose of loss assessment, as well as the potential FLW hotspots that would be the target of intervention.
• Planning and preparing for the implementation of qualitative and quantitative loss assessment.
• Recognizing the key steps and structure of the Exploratory Loss Assessment Method (EFLAM), Load Tracking (LT) and Questionnaire Loss Assessment Method (QLAM), and how data on FLW can be used.
