\section{Theory}  Food loss refers to the decrease in edible food mass throughout the part of the supply chain that specifically leads to edible food for human consumption, i.e. production, post-harvest and processing stages in the food supply chain \cite{20713403}. Food losses are specified and referred to as food wastage if it is related to retailers' and consumers' behaviour.  %In Europe, 28.940 km^{2} of land are thus used without purpose, equalling 3/4 of the total available surface area of the Netherlands.   % Other environmental impacts  %useless consumption of energy, water and land and the contribution to GHG emissions. On a per-capita basis, the majority of food is wasted in industrialised countries.
