A recipe for reducing food waste in retail

Start dramatically cutting waste across your value chain

With costs estimated at a trillion dollars every year, food waste is a massive issue. One-third of all food is wasted, harming the climate, biodiversity, and consumers. Now, that’s all about to change.
