Food waste: how graphene can solve a growing global crisis

The statistics on food waste are shocking. According to the United Nations , one-third of all food produced globally is wasted, including half of all fruit and vegetables. And in a world of increasingly precarious water supply, one-quarter of all the world's fresh water is used to grow food that will never be eaten. In the face of a fast-growing world population, these numbers are clearly unsustainable and next week (Wed 28 July), a prestigious international event will put a spotlight on food waste - and reveal how graphene-based innovation can make a difference. The webinar - entitled 'How can we stop the global food system from destroying our planet?' - is being hosted jointly by the UAE and UK, in partnership with UAE-UK Business Council. The webinar brings together industry experts, government representatives and start-ups to share insight and showcase innovation that could significantly change how we manage food, packaging and transport across the supply chain from grower to consumer.
