Food waste: insights from science and dumpster diving
By combining knowledge from scientific studies and experiences from dumpster diving, the researcher Ingrid Strid will share some facts and thoughts of the ongoing food waste problem and its possible solutions in a Swedish context.
Food waste is mainly a result of oversupply in combination with perishability of fresh food, but also a consequence of the economic value of food in relation to labor costs.
The Department of Energy and Technology have done research on retail food waste, losses during primary production, waste in school canteens and effects of different valorization methods.
Ingrid Strid is a researcher at Department of Energy and Technology at Ultuna.
The lecture is given in English.
