Tech Bites

Can you imagine living without a smart phone? Tech Bites engineer Noam Osband has a flip phone. Sound crazy? A flip phone is cheaper (for the device and the data), more secure from hacking and theft, and keeps you offline from work email all the time. Maybe that’s why celebrities, including Rihanna, Warren Buffet and Chris Pine, all have flip phones. On this episode host Jennifer Leuzzi (@mmesnack) talks with Noam (@noamoasband) about living the flip phone life. This episode of Tech Bites (@techbiteshrn) is sponsored by Joule Sous Vide by ChefSteps (@chefsteps).

Aquaponics combines aquaculture farming of fish with hydroponic farming of plants into one self-sufficient water-based eco-system.

You’ve probably been recycling paper and plastics for decades - but are you upcycling food waste? Upcycling is the process of converting food waste into a new usable and valuable food product.

Blockchain in the financial headlines, tech news and increasingly in food news. The digital ledger technology, created in 2008 for the cryptocurrency bitcoin, is being touted as the solution to many food system problems. Because the information cannot be altered, it could be the ultimate validation of product authenticity or the most accurate record of a food supply chain that could help mitigate food contamination outbreaks. We’ve been reading about it and hearing about it for years - but what is blockchain exactly? On today’s episode of Tech Bites (@TechBitesHRN), host Jennifer Leuzzi (@MmeSnack) and Nigel Gopie (@analyticsbytes), Global Marketing Leader IBM Food Trust (@IBMBlockchain), will decode blockchain and explain how it applies to our food IRL. This episode is sponsored by Roth Cheese (@RothCheese) made with heart, crafted in Wisconsin.
