Appropriate food packaging solutions for developing countries

The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Desseldorf, Germany.

Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste.

In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in developing countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible.
