Upcycling ingredients: Foodvalley NL highlights potential to add value to food waste

17 Aug 2023 — Foodvalley NL is outlining the largely untapped potential of upcycling side streams from food production into new food-grade ingredients to create a more circular food system. Speaking to Nutrition Insight, the Netherlands-based organization offers a look into its activities to foster collaboration and innovations in this field. 

Worldwide, one-third of food produced every year – 1.3 billion metric tons – is lost or wasted, flags the organization. These losses account for around 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans.
