Food waste in the supply chain - an audit

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm on 14 June 2023

For the first time, food waste across our supply chains will be measured by researchers at the University of Otago.

Food loss accounts for 38 per cent of the energy used in our global food system, according the UN.

Research lead Professor Sheila Skeaff is with the Department of Human Nutrition at the University of Otago. She speaks to Jesse about their work.
