Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Food loss and waste has gained international attention for its negative environmental, economic, and social repercussions. In Canada approximately 58% of all the food produced and imported for human consumption goes uneaten each year (Gooch et al. 2019, 23). Provincial, territorial, and municipalgovernments have begun to develop and implement strategies to reduce food loss and waste in their jurisdictions. To track the impact of these strategies, it is necessary to know much food loss and wasteexists in a jurisdiction to create a baseline and measure reductions against this number. Unfortunately, not much is currently known about how food loss and waste is monitored and measured in Canada as it varies significantly throughout the agri-food system and across different governments. This presentationreports on preliminary findings on a research project that utilizes interviews with key stakeholders (including government policy makers, food business executives, food security organization leaders, and food waste consultants) to gain insight into these various, differing procedures. This research aims toassist government policy makers and the agri-food business community in adopting and/or improvingtheir monitoring and measuring procedures within their jurisdiction, industry, and/or individualbusinesses. Funding: OMAFRA through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance (HQP Program) & Arrell Food Institute

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
