Food Waste Reduction and Valorization
Food waste reduction and valorization focus on minimizing waste in the food supply chain and finding innovative uses for surplus or byproduct materials. Strategies include improving supply chain efficiency, enhancing consumer education, and implementing technologies for preservation and reuse. Valorization transforms waste into valuable products, such as biofuels, animal feed, and nutraceuticals, contributing to sustainability and resource efficiency.
