I am Olumide Odeyemi, a Nigerian and doctoral candidate with research interest in microbial food safety, sustainable farming, microbial ecology and shelf life extension at the University of Tasmania, Australia. 
 
It is of great interest that many researchers have contributed and stressed the importance of small farms in food security and nutrition. However, food waste at household levels cannot be overemphasised. A large proportion of food produced is never consumed but rather wasted due to poor handling, transportation, processing and postharvest storage among other factors.
 
Minimizing food waste at all levels especially during harvesting and post harvesting can help food security and nutrition.
