The world cannot sustainably feed nearly 10 billion global citizens by 2050 if food loss and waste remains between 30 and 50 percent of annual food production. There needs to be a positive impact on consumption and production patterns. Consumer expectations for corporate responsibility are rising, and organizations can gain competitive advantage by making food waste reduction a pillar of their larger sustainability strategy.
At this year’s WasteExpo, a panel of experts, academics and entrepreneurs will discuss how data and technology are being used to develop viable market platforms to address surplus food collection inefficiencies. Additionally, they will provide solutions to reduce food waste and ensure recovery of excess food and food scraps during the May 6 session, “Using Data and Technology to Drive Food Waste Reduction.”
