Supermarkets - the friend and foe of food waste 🐖🥕

In the last episode of Season 1, we welcomed Matt Homewood to share more about his recent collaboration with Throw No More. Matt is fostering global consciousness about food waste and busting food waste myths along the way. He joined Throw No More as Denmark’s Country Manager and Head of Sustainability to scale the mission of ending supermarket food waste!

Throw No More is an app that aims to reduce food waste by connecting consumers with discounted food in supermarkets that would otherwise go to waste. So far, the app is fully launched in Norway with over 500 partnering supermarkets and has ambitious plans to expand across Europe.

In PART 1, we covered:

• The silo system of food waste (food loss and food waste) for hoarding and profit
• Effective solutions to fight food waste (policy & technology)
• How @anurbanharvester grew to make a sizable impact
