One third of the food production in the world is estimated to end up being wasted. By wasting food, we waste energy and water to grow food and produce methane. Reducing food waste and turning them into energy is one mitigation option that we need to seriously consider. In this panel, we will discuss this issue of how to tackle food waste and also do so with an “equity by design” mindset. We hope to bring in people from academia, business, NGOs from both Global South and North to consider solutions and opportunities related to energy and food. Instead of creating another landfill in an environmental justice community, we seek an alternative solution and propose to mitigate climate change and demand climate justice.
