As with any production process, the production of food leads to by-products that are discarded. But are we doing enough to put these products to use and avoid waste?
In this episode of the podcast, recorded live at the Food Matters Live event in Manchester in November 2024, we examine the transformative potential of upcycled food, including its economic, environmental, and societal impact.
What more can governments do the incentivize upcycling in the food industry? How do we get the food industry to work together to help solve the waste issue? And how much waste is too much waste?
We hear from leading experts in this field and learn about some exciting real-world examples of collaboration between businesses, policymakers, and academics.
Upcycling is just one piece of the broader sustainability puzzle, but it is an important one.
Guests:
Alessandro Biraglia, Associate Professor of Marketing, Leeds University
Amanda Oenbring, Chief Executive Officer, Upcycled Food Association
