Tackling food waste with technology and circular product development
Unnecessary food waste is a problem in the food industry. To bring attention to the issue, the UN has initiated the International Food Waste Day, which falls on 29 September every year. That is why Greenfood today highlights the important work being done to reduce food loss and food waste across the Greenfood Group.
Food waste occurs at all stages of the food chain, such as in agriculture, the food industry, restaurants, commercial kitchens, and grocery stores. It directly impacts the environment and climate as food production accounts for a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions.
