The second webinar in a series launched by B2B marketplace Yume to reframe the approach to food waste in Australia is scheduled for 12 August. Series presenter will be CEO of Food Nation, Lise Walbom.
Yume is partnering with waste management and recycling company Suez for the series. Food & Drink Business is the media partner.
Its aim is to provide an overview of the latest national and international trends, case studies and tools that will empower you to bring new ideas to your organisation and innovatively tackle the food waste problem.
Food waste impacts business operations in more ways than one. It impacts budgets, increases costs and affects overall sustainability goals. The market is changing, consumers are becoming more aware of these issues and are demanding more from their favourite brands.
So Yume/Suez are posing the question: where do we go from here?
The second series will be presented by the CEO of Danish public-private partnership, Food Nation, Lise Walbom. She will discuss the latest food waste innovation and ideas coming out of Denmark including notable case studies and what Australian businesses can learn from their Danish counterparts.
Topics covered will be:
- Food loss and waste in a global perspective
- Danish initiatives for minimising food loss and waste
- The $1.2 trillion business opportunity in food loss and waste: case studies from the value chain
It will be followed by a Q&A session.
Walbom has extensive experience working with public, private and political actors in the Danish food arena. Before joining Food Nation, she spent a decade working as a consultant in the food industry for the Confederation of Danish Industry, one of Denmark’s largest employers’ organisations, representing more than 10,000 Danish enterprises. Prior to that Walbom worked within private consultancy focusing on innovation, productivity and strategy. She has also worked in one of the largest Danish cooperatives, COOP that has 1.7 million members, and the Danish Ministry of Food.
