This opinion piece by Philip Loring suggests that developing technology and changing our values towards food are mutually exclusive when it comes to creating climate friendly food systems. I think we need both! We can use technology to get a better understanding of our food, within the realistic context of more and more urban living, away from the places where our food is grown. If we're not packing our bags to move back to the farm, then we need both education AND new tools to better understand and respect our food. This is exactly what we are doing at Mimica with Bump, our dynamic food spoilage indicator, to help us enjoy food to it's full true durability. And we've found it drives behaviour change too, with 85% people in our household trial reporting that having Bump on their food encouraged them to improve their storage habits, which would make the food last longer and reduce waste even further. What are your thoughts? Do you think technology helps or hinders the creation of better food values? https://lnkd.in/eHK5uDYw #futureoffood #foodtech #opinion #foodsystems #behaviourchange #foodwaste #consumerinsights #smartpackaging #sustainability

Ensuring Healthier and Greener Food Production in the EU! In an era where sustainability and health are at the forefront of public consciousness, the #EuropeanUnion has a unique opportunity to lead the charge in transforming food production. But how can we make this vision a reality? HORIZON MAGAZINE recently spoke to the European Institute of Food and Technology's (EIT) Food's Chief Executive Officer, Richard Zaltzman, about the challenges and opportunities ahead.🌍🌾 Check out his interview on how the EU is poised to drive significant advancements in producing food that is not only healthier for consumers but also kinder to our planet. Together, let's work towards a sustainable and prosperous future. #Sustainability #GreenAgriculture #EU #OrganicFarming #FoodProduction #HealthyLiving #AgriTech #ZeroWaste

The impact of #technology on our lives is undeniable, and the #food industry is no exception. It’s fascinating to observe how these new systems are transforming what we eat, the way it’s produced, and even the people behind its creation. I believe these #changes hold the promise of providing greater access to high-quality food, while also addressing issues related to waste and #environmental impacts. https://lnkd.in/dVxsFr6c

🥦🗑️🤔 Did you know that approximately 40% of food is going to waste? 🛒 In fact, it is estimated that around 931 million is wasted every year, and food service and retail are responsible for 26% and 13% of this total, respectively. 🚜 On the other hand it is estimated that 8.3% of all produced food is wasted at or around harvest and 7% during farm-stage post-harvest activities. 🏠 While individual consumer behaviour plays a role, we must look beyond household actions and focus on the stages of the supply chain where food waste and loss occur at scale. ♻️ Tackling food waste and loss along the supply chain is a collective effort that involves producers, retailers, consumers, and policymakers. By shifting our focus from individual consumer actions to systemic challenges, we can implement impactful solutions that address this pressing issue. 🤝 Collaboration, data sharing, technological innovation, and a rethinking of cosmetic standards can pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient food system. ✅ Reducing food waste and food loss must form part of strategies to achieve a more sustainable, fairer food system, where large-scale action is needed across the entire supply chain. The time for wasting is over! 🌎 As we work together, we have the power to create a chain reaction of positive change that not only reduces food waste but also contributes to food security, environmental #sustainability, and a healthier planet for future generations. 🤓 Read more about the key solutions for reducing food waste and food loss by increasing collaboration.

🌍 Addressing Food Waste Challenges 🌱 Did you know that approximately 40% of our food goes to waste, impacting food security, the economy, and the environment? The FAO highlights that this wasted food could feed 1.26 billion hungry people annually, with an economic cost of about US$1 trillion and contributing 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Excitingly, at Mycosortia, a food tech startup in Singapore, we're actively tackling this issue through our microbial biotransformation technology. We're bringing food side streams back into the supply chain, playing our part in reducing food waste. 🚀 We're proud to contribute to this cause and look forward to collaborating with others across the value chain. Collective efforts, innovative solutions, and partnerships are key to creating a sustainable food production system. Let's work together towards a future with less waste, enhanced food security, and a healthier planet! 🌱🌐 #FoodWaste #Sustainability #Innovation #Mycosortia #Collaboration https://lnkd.in/dpwAEmDi

This is a great example of how problem solving can lead to food innovation that in turn makes the world a better place. What we love about this story is: - Saving nutritious food from going to waste and turning it into something new and delicious. - Listening to farmers and growers and innovating from what they have, rather than telling them what to grow and produce. - Working locally, and persisting in the face of personal and economical challenges. What innovations are happening in your business that are creating and contributing to a better future through food? #foodforabetterfuture #foodinnovation #local #sustainable https://lnkd.in/g-XWXuNK

Really interesting project with some great solutions to help tackle food waste and understand what's going on in the supply chain better
