Indonesia as an agrarian country that relies on the agricultural sector as the state income. One of the biggest problems in agriculture is food loss (for production) and food waste (for consumption). FAO (2011) reveals that around one third or 1.3 billion ton food industry the world does not end in our plate! Moreover, based on Sustainable Index 2018 Indonesia is the bottom 10 country in the rank (60 of 67). This problem will cause economy loss, food security, as well as environment damage. First of all, the first issue food losses are a thret for food security. Indonesia ranks 73 out of 119 qualifying countries.

Full Cost Accounting (FCA) shows that the environmental costs was obtained reaching 700 billion USD and the social costs reaching 900 billion USD (FAO 2014). The last, food losses contribute 8% of greenhouse emission or 3.3 Gtonnes of CO2 equivalent and based on the blue water footprint (i.e. ground-water resources and the consumption of surface) of food wastage is about 250 km3, as well as impact to biodiversity such as mammals, birds, fishes, and herpetofauna.
