Moreover food wastage in Europe is estimated at 90 million tonnes per year which translates to 180 kg per person annually. The 2011 European Road Map for Resource Efficiency sets ambitious targets for agriculture by 2020: 50% reduction of waste and wastage: conservation of natural capital biodiversity and ecosystem services: reduction of land use and improvement of soil quality: independence from fossil fuels.//The distinctive characteristic of the proposed POEMS model is its modular structure: it is composed of a collection of management tools that can be applied individually (Integrated Management System L
