Is food waste an idea that’s past its sell-by date?
Around 30% of food that’s produced ends up being wasted. This loss occurs at every step across the value chain, and its impact is wide reaching – if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
To eliminate waste and allow nature to thrive, we must fundamentally redesign our global food systems. It’s time for a fresh take.
Innovative solutions are already being devised from farm to fork. In this film, Ben Thomas from @waitroseandpartners (a member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative Agribusiness Task Force), Reniera O’Donnell from @EllenMacArthurFoundation and David Jackson from @Winnowsolutions unpack the possibilities.
Can the food waste issue be reframed as an opportunity? With groundbreaking ideas, technologies, and systems at our disposal, this vision of the future is already coming to fruition.

RE:TV was founded by His Majesty King Charles III to highlight the innovations and ideas that are emerging in response to the climate and biodiversity crisis.
Inspired by The King’s long-standing commitment to nature, we provide a platform for the growing community of change-makers around the world, raising awareness of the wide variety of technological and nature-based climate solutions that point the way to a better future for us all.
As our founder put it when RE:TV launched in 2020; “there is real hope, but we’ve got to come together as a world on this.”
