The Fight Against Food Waste Is Becoming Big Business – The Huffington post blog by Selina Juul

Overview

Imagine if you can save the world by saving your time and saving your money. While reducing your carbon footprint while helping the food value chain to optimize itself – and even create new green growth. Too good to be true? Well, the fight against food waste nails it. And it’s becoming big business. New food products made from surplus produce. Mobile apps which help you buy cheap surplus food from restaurant’s buffets. Supermarket offers on cheap food nearing its expiry date. And large marketing campaigns by the retailers and the industry to show off their work to stop wasting food. The fight against food waste is a hot topic – in just 13 years, the human population’s global food losses and food waste must be reduced by 50%. This deadline is made by the United Nations as a new UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3. In 2011, the UN FAO launched the global SAVE FOOD initiative – and today the fight against food waste has gained great momentum.
