Why this course?
One-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted every year. These 1.3 billion tons of food would be enough to feed 3 billion people. This situation is an absurdity when considering that over 820 million people are suffering from hunger (WHO). Food waste also has a huge environmental impact, creating large carbon, water, chemical and land footprints on our systems. From an economic standpoint, BCG estimates that this global food waste issue is worth $1.2 trillion, whilst also representing a $700 billion opportunity.
LightBlue's mission is to reconcile business excellence, sustainability, and outstanding ROI. Through 9 years of relentless efforts, we have gained unique expertise in food waste prevention. We are convinced that awareness-raising and capability building are keys to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Preventing food waste is one of the most effective solutions to fight climate change, and this is why we want to share our expertise and insights to equip professionals with new skills and in-depth knowledge to take action and broaden the impact.
