Agrifood solutions addressing circular economy challenges
The circular economy is a transformative approach to sustainability, aiming to minimise waste and make the most of our resources. Agrifood innovations play a critical role in this by addressing food waste, improving supply chains, and creating sustainable food systems.
In this webinar we explored some cutting-edge case studies emerging in the Australian market, and heard from our speakers on the impacts of these innovations on the environment, the economy and the circular economy transition.
Our panel of experts included:
- Simon Lockrey from Stop Food Waste Australia, RMIT
- Caity Touzell from Boomerang Labs
- Claire Dyason, Australian Food Waste Challenge
