International Showcase
Across the globe, one billion meals go uneaten every day. And while there is large variation between countries for where and why food goes to waste, it all means wasted resources and wasted economic value, while one in 11 people across the world face hunger. That’s why addressing food loss and waste is a global priority. And fortunately, there are organizations across the world who are taking on this challenge. Hear from food waste projects spanning Brazil, the Netherlands, and more during this exciting international showcase session!
