Did you know?
- Around one-third of all food produced for people goes to waste.
- Less than 2% of nutrients from food waste and byproducts are reused.
Our current food system is unsustainable and inefficient. But, hold on, there’s light at the end of this tunnel!
Adopting a circular strategy to manage food waste offers benefits for everyone:
Environment
Recycling nutrients from food byproducts and leftovers into the soil boosts crop growth and cuts down greenhouse gas emissions.
Customers
Minimizing post-harvest losses with improved storage, transport, processing, and packaging means less waste and lower costs for consumers.
Businesses and Investors
Supporting eco-friendly practices and reducing greenhouse gases establishes businesses and investors as champions against climate change.
Switching to a circular model requires an open mindset to experiment, investment in cutting-edge technologies, and a firm commitment to sustainability.
Venture capital firms like S2G Ventures and companies such as Too Good To Go are already making a difference, but we need more hands on deck.
