In this episode, we talk about food waste, and what we can do to prevent that huge amounts of food each year is wasted.

Why do tons after tons of perfectly edible food end up in landfills, and what kind of technology is out there, that can help us?

We also take a look at what kind of policies are needed to push the implementation of the technology.

The episode uses facts and analysis from the new 'Reducing Food Consumer Food Waste' report, available here:
