Independent research organisation the Worldwatch Institute is running a project funded by the Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation dubbed Nourishing the Planet which aims to find sustainable solution to reduce global hunger and rural poverty including tackling food waste in the developed and developing world.
Co-project director Danielle Nierenberg told freshinfo: “We are very focused on this issue and are looking at a longer term project on food waste covering fresh fruit and vegetables on a global scale. We would really like to engage with the industry on this issue. This should be ready for publication in January next year.”
