It should come as no surprise that food waste is a big, global problem and it is passed time to do something about it. The world's food waste accounts for 8% of our total global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)[1]; if food waste were a country, it would be the third highest emitter of GHG[2]. According to Project Drawdown, reducing food waste is the single most effective solution to climate change[3].Thankfully, there are several innovative movements to address the staggering 30% of all food produced globally going to waste[4]. From creative distribution and sharing, to upcycling and circular models, there are many opportunities to make a positive choice quickly and simply for sustainable, scaled impact. From peels and past-its-prime fruit, more manufacturers are getting creative, and more upcycled food start-ups are beginning to appear on the scene.
