Summary
Current trends indicate that our food production systems will not be able to address the food demands of a growing population.
The UN suggests that, by 2050, global population will reach 10 billion, while the resources available for primary food production remain finite. With current levels of waste and losses reaching 30% of the total produced, this remains an area of focus across the world.
This talk will provide some examples of food waste utilisation that our team has worked for many years, as well as introduce some of our current research activities.
