Selina Juul, the founder of Stop Wasting Food movement Denmark (Stop Spild Af Mad), highlights why food waste is a real problem and how it could be solved. She gives practical insights on how industries, as well as individuals, can reduce food waste. Stop Wasting Food is Denmark’s largest non-profit award-winning organization against food waste. Since 2008, Stop Wasting Food has massively contributed to bringing food waste on Denmark’s agenda and achieved a large number of results in Denmark, in collaboration with the EU and UN. Key points: • About one-third of the world’s produced food is either lost or wasted, amounting to billions of dollars going down the drain. • As the world’s population grows, we can’t continue wasting food as we are now – we need to change the way we consume. • The food industry can and should create business opportunities with food that is about to be wasted. Questions to consider: • If you are in the food or grocery industry, how can your company reduce food waste? • Can your company start making a profit from food waste? • How can you reduce food waste in your personal life? You can also find a written summary of the keynote at https://www.nbforum.com/event-summaries/ — Nordic Business Forum is one of Europe’s most significant business events. In 2017, the Nordic Business Forum in Helsinki gathered 7,500 CEOs, entrepreneurs, and executives from over 40 countries under the same roof for two days.
