A third of the food we produce is thrown away. Eliminating food waste would allow us to feed an extra 2 billion people, we would be able to entirely offset the carbon footprint of India, and the food industry would be able to recover over a trillion dollars. But according to food-tech entrepreneur Jessica Li, most of today's food waste solutions are simply addressing symptoms instead of targeting the root cause. In this engaging conversation about food waste, Jessica explores how we can reduce food waste in a way that's better for the environment, better for the economy, and better for society.
