Stop Wasting Food
Share this event
Food waste is a global tragedy. Almost 1 billion people are starving – and still we annually produce food waste enough to feed 3 billion people.
The hidden implications of food waste are enormous and fighting food losses and food waste must become one of our civilization’s main agendas to ensure our survival as a species.
In just 20 years, the human civilization will be in need of at least 50% more food, 45% more energy, and 30% more water.
In her talk Selina Juul devises how we can change this scenario. During her work week she puts in roughly 40 hours on unpaid work with the Danish consumer movement, Stop Wasting Food, which she founded in 2008.
The consumers have become the new politicians – and consumer movements are gaining the power to create global change.
She has also published an award winning leftovers cookbook “Stop spild af mad – en kogebog med mere” with contributions from Danish top chefs Francis Cardenau, Katrine Klinken, Camilla Plum, Thomas Rode Andersen and Suhrs Madakademiet.
