Reply to comment by ethanthe12 in [OC] Which countries suffer the most food wastage? by earthlymonarch

Some and unprocessed, sure. With proper storage, i.e., root cellar, potatoes can last months after harvest. Same for most root vegetables. (Carrots, onions, turnips, etc )

Canning can also preserve foods for upto a year usually.

You can also preserve eggs. (I assume meats too, but I've never done that).

Preserving meat would be salting, smoking, or making jerky. Homemade jerky in a fridge can last awhile. This is how it was done before electricity.
