Australian Acad. Of Science: Food Waste: Preventing Multi Billion Dollar Problem

The top priority when it comes to food waste is to avoid generating more. Food waste includes all food intended for human consumption that never reaches us, as well as edible food that consumers throw away. As it rots in landfills, food waste generates potent greenhouse gases that accelerate global warming. Learn about the many initiatives being taken in Australia to combat this problem and how agricultural technology innovations such as sensor-enabled drones to monitor fields, predictive data analysis, and the use of agricultural robots, or agbots, are driving change.
