About
One-third of global food production is wasted - $940 billion in economic loss and massive environmental impact. Entrepreneurs showcase solutions attacking waste across the value chain: post-harvest loss prevention, natural preservation extending shelf-life, predictive tools for retailers and restaurants, consumer meal planning solutions, upcycling technologies transforming waste into valuable ingredients, and circular economy models. Particularly relevant for the GCC with high per-capita waste rates, presenting opportunity for both local impact and exportable solutions.
