How can we use tech and data solutions to end food waste?

With at least one third of food in the US going to waste every day (despite 34 million people nationwide living with food insecurity) and acting as the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in landfills, we need urgent solutions when it comes to food waste. In today’s episode, Victoria talks with two people whose work uses digital solutions to tackle this issue: Giulia Stellari, director for ESG and impact at Fall Line Capital, and Jackie Suggitt, director of capital, innovation and engagement at ReFED. Zero100 head of research, Colin Gilbert, joins Victoria to help synthesize what these insights mean for the future of zero percent carbon, 100% digital supply chains.
