Det är ett ekonomiskt bortfall för företag men även för samhället i stort. Dessutom orsakar hela livsmedelskedjan miljöpåverkan, inte minst från ett klimatperspektiv. De olika aktörerna försöker självklart minska sitt eget svinn men efIn a world where more people must survive on fewer resources, food waste has become greatly focused.

It has previously been proposed that the initiation of new primordia is triggered by the plant hormone auxin by a mechanism that is confined to the outermost epidermal layer of the meristem. Recent experiments suggest that the genes KANADI (KAN)

Att marknadsandelarna är av betydelse för dominansbedömningen är välkänt inom konkurrensrätten.
