Science Slam: Reduction of food losses

Reducing food loss – losses occur almost everywhere along the food value chain. The production of food requires many valuable resources and produces greenhouse gases. In addition, the refinement of the food and the subsequent transport require large amounts of energy. For these reasons, it is extremely important to prevent increasingly scarce resources from being lost throughout the value chain. The reduction is on the one hand environmental protection and on the other hand cost saving. The presentations at the Science Slam show what is needed to proceed in order to minimize losses along the food value chain and what ideas and modern technologies exist and can help to prevent these food losses.
