As #FoodWasteActionWeek comes to an end, it’s been great to shine a light some of the researchers whose work is helping us understand & tackle the complex challenge of food waste. Every post we shared this week offers a new perspective on the challenge & potential steps for change. 👇

Today for #FoodWasteActionWeek we’re highlighting Prof Nik Watson, whose expertise is artificial intelligence in food. Nik has written a blog that explores his newly funded research into using AI to transform food waste into nutritious, sustainable protein 👇 #FWAW #FoodWaste #Sustainability #AI

Today for #FoodWasteActionWeek we’re highlighting Dr Carrie Bradshaw, Associate Professor in the School of Law, an expert in the law and policy of food waste. Why this matters: Redistributing surplus food may help prevent waste and provide food for people in need. #FWAW #FoodWaste 👇

New paper by Dr @rogercre.bsky.social & colleagues expose hidden risks in global food system. Shows how food‑trade globalisation makes some regions more vulnerable to production shocks, plus their tool estimating how much countries must boost reserves of any food category to withstand 20% of shocks👇

This week is #FoodWasteActionWeek. We are going to share a snapshot of some of our experts & their research into food waste. Today we’re highlighting Dr Gülbanu Kaptan, whose work focuses on behavioural drivers of household food waste & designing interventions to reduce it. 👇
