This webinar we will cover areas such as turning food waste into profit, using packaging and processes to increase shelf life and using wasted energy to produce food.

Food waste is a growing global issue, with millions of tons of edible food discarded annually. However, innovative entrepreneurs and businesses are finding ways to turn this waste into profit by upcycling, repurposing, and redistributing surplus food. By developing sustainable models, food waste is transformed into valuable products and services, benefiting both the environment and the economy.

Some businesses focus on repurposing food scraps into gourmet products, such as fruit peel jams, vegetable chips, or sustainable snacks, while others find creative ways to convert excess food into animal feed, compost, or bioenergy. Startups and larger corporations are also leveraging technology to optimize supply chains, minimizing food waste and increasing efficiency in food production and distribution.
