Food losses occurring at this stage are primarily attributable to climatic and environmental factors, the spread of disease, and the presence of parasites. Obviously, losses due to these factors vary depending on different types of cultivation, the seasons, and different production areas. In addition, adverse climatic events increase crop losses even before their harvest. However, significant differences exist at this stage between developed and developing countries. In fact, different techniques for preparing the soil, seeding (seeds selected, treated seeds, seeding time, etc.), and cultivation (proper use of water, fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals) can result in completely different yields, representing the first cause of waste. For example, many fields are abandoned because rain is insufficient and growers lack irrigation equipment. Appropriate use of agronomic practices even before harvest and storage makes it possible to avoid an increase in the level of loss incurred.
