Abstract
The brief aims to answer the first learning question of the USAID Advancing Nutrition learning plan, which seeks to synthesize learning and build the evidence base to accelerate wasting reduction in both non-emergency and humanitarian settings. The review examines the existing evidence base on reducing wasting through food systems approaches, summarizes implementation considerations, and recommends areas for further research based on evidence gaps.
