Food. Growing it, harvesting it, packing it, transporting it, keeping it chilled... It has a huge climate impact even without emissions from waste food rotting in landfill. 70% of the food we throw away in the UK is still edible. So how's Mimica tackling food waste?⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mKb...
