Food Waste Recovery: Matthew Unerman Food Sustainability Manager Discusses Food Waste Recovery
Manage episode 367618073 series 3481656
Food waste recovery refers to the process of reclaiming and repurposing food that would otherwise be discarded. It is a sustainable approach aimed at reducing the environmental and social impacts of food waste.
Through various methods such as composting, anaerobic digestion, and food redistribution, food waste recovery helps minimise methane emissions from landfills and alleviates the strain on natural resources.
Moreover, recovered food can be redirected to feed people in need, addressing food insecurity and fostering community resilience. This practice not only mitigates food waste's harmful effects but also promotes a circular economy that values resource conservation and social equity. Food waste recovery is an essential step towards building a more sustainable and just food system.
