The aim of this forum was to boost reduction of escalating FLW across the globe and potential re-utilization through innovative technologies.
Key Points:
- The aim of this forum was to boost reduction of escalating FLW across the globe and potential re-utilization through innovative technologies.
- USDA's Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) in Guangzhou launched this forum and hopes to hold similar discussions in the future.
- The last two presentations focused on food waste, where an average of 17% waste in total food supply chain was estimated to occur post-retail.
- Recycling of nutrients from food waste from selected sources (i.e., food supermarkets) via industrialized husbandry of black soldier fly appears a more viable solution to food waste re-utilization than general composting and direct animal feeding.
