Panel discussion

Towards Sustainable Food Management: Synergy of Science, Industry and Consumers

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that nearly one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted each year along the global food value chain. As the world’s population continues to grow, the need to make better use of the food we produce has never been more urgent.

How can we reduce food waste? What does science tell us, what is industry doing, and how can consumers make a difference?

Join us for an inspiring panel discussion, held in Croatian, featuring leading scientists, experts and industry leaders, including Anet Režek Jambrak, PhD, Full professor (University of Zagreb Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology), Sanja Kolarić Kravar PhD (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries), Jasmina Ranilović, PhD, Assistant professor (Podravka, d.d.), Iva Finderle, mag. nutr. (Kod Fi doma) and Antonio Matušan (CRUMBS TECHNOLOGY d.o.o.), as they uncover the key drivers, barriers, innovations and strategies transforming the way we produce, distribute and consume food sustainably.
