Do you Know: At a time when 811 million people go to bed hungry every night, a third of all food produced to eat is wasted or lost? The United Nations aims to halve global food waste by 2030, and technology solutions have shown promise in supporting that goal.
Food can be lost early in the supply chain, during production and processing, or later, when restaurants, supermarkets, and households throw it away. Rampant food waste worsens global hunger. It exacerbates the climate emergency, too, with an estimated 8-10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions being associated with unconsumed food. Solving the food waste problem becomes increasingly possible with the sustainability companies adopting the latest technology:
US-based Winnow uses computer vision to help commercial kitchens around the world understand how food is being wasted, measuring the amounts discarded using smart sensors attached to waste bins. The app also proposes strategies to prevent waste while saving money. Wasteless, meanwhile, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to maintain dynamic pricing on items with upcoming expiration dates. The objective is to help supermarkets and online grocery stores in Europe and the US reduce food waste and extend the value of their perishable food items.
