The growing concern regarding food loss and waste (FLW) has taken the world by storm. Academic studies over the years have been conducted to analyse waste along the entire food supply chain (FSC), revealing various reasons behind causes of waste. Despite this, waste at storage locations is a topic of quite high interest, but it is discussed at a relatively lesser degree compared to others. This research unifies previous studies and provides recommendations to reduce food waste at storage locations along the FSC, excluding the consumer end. The study shows that lack of adaptability of technologies is the main cause of food waste at storage locations. The problem is escalated further in developing countries and the authors highlight the effects of FLW on the three pillars of sustainability. To tackle the issue, various technologies, preservation methods, and solutions, such as temperature monitoring devices, have been provided based on the systematic literature review. The study makes several theoretical and managerial contributions The findings can be used by industry experts to implement these technologies in their storage facilities, while researchers could also benefit as the study can serve as a reference starting point for their research.
