Food Waste Hackathon 2023 Theme

Primary Production

This theme challenges participants to explore innovative solutions to reduce food waste at its source and pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient food system. By revolutionizing how we approach farming and harvesting, we can contribute significantly to the global effort to combat food waste, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable and resilient food system for all.

Food Processing & Manufacturing

Food processing and manufacturing are vital to meet the global demand for food products. Yet, these industries' inefficiencies, losses, and waste contribute significantly to the staggering issue of food waste. This theme aims to reimagine and innovate how food is processed and manufactured to reduce waste, conserve resources, and build a more sustainable food system.

Food & Beverage in Retail

We recognize that retail plays a pivotal role in the food supply chain, and this theme is a call to action for all who believe that change starts at the point of sale. To reduce food waste, we focus on the retail environment, where vast quantities of food and beverages are bought, sold, and sometimes discarded

Consumer Consumption Habits

Individuals play a crucial role in the fight against food waste. We can collectively profoundly impact our environment, communities, and personal well-being by reimagining how we purchase, prepare, and consume food.

Waste Generation & Alternative Waste Management

Waste generation is an integral part of the food supply chain, and innovative waste management solutions can be a powerful catalyst for reducing food waste and its environmental impact. Food waste, in the form of scraps, surplus, and by-products, is generated at various supply chain stages, from production to consumption.
