Zero waste restaurant and jellyfish dinners: Alternative food solutions could help alleviate an impending food crisis.
With global demand for food set to increase by nearly 70 percent by 2050, sustainable food production is one of the biggest challenges for the future.
The food industry is one of the most ecologically damaging industries and we will need to completely rethink its approach if we are to keep meals on the table for generations to come.
"Food is the single biggest impact that humans have on nature. We are deforesting the earth to grow more food. It's by far the biggest user of fresh water, the single biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions, and the biggest reason why we're in the middle of the mass species extinction event, the sixth that planet Earth has faced. At least a third of the world's food is currently being wasted," says Tristram Stuart, food waste campaigner and author.
