COP27: No Time to Waste

BBC Future's William Park talks to experts about the research & innovation that's helping us tackle food waste, in a webinar from the Horticulture Quality and Food Loss Network. This webinar took place on 8 Novermber 2022 and was hosted by ‪@CranfieldUni‬ and BBSRC to accompany the COP27 climate conference.
Disruption to food supplies will be the most immediate and far-reaching of human crises as a result of climate change and environmental damage. Tackling food loss throughout the supply chain, from farm to fork, will help to maximise food security. In this webinar, three experts share food waste science that's helping to address different parts of the issue.
