Despite poverty and hunger, approximately 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year, enough to feed the 9 billion people who will possibly occupy the planet in 2050, says FutureFood 2050.
Sponsored by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), FutureFood 2050 is a multi-year program that highlights the people and stories leading the effort to find solutions for a healthier, safer planet.
