How Tech Can Reduce Food Waste
In this article, we explore the various ways that technology can help reduce food waste. We discuss different business models, segments of the supply chain, as well as features and offerings that can all play a part in reducing food waste. The unpredictable nature of surplus and the difficulty of reacting in real-time, have been identified as both major causes of food waste as well as reasons for tech to play its part in waste reduction efforts.
