In this episode, Global Food Talk focuses on one of the most urgent challenges of our time – food loss and waste.

With almost one third of all food produced never being eaten, the conversation explores how stronger partnerships and practical solutions can turn inefficiency into opportunity.

Chief Economist Maximo Torero from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations shares in a conversation with Lise Walbom, CEO of Food Nation, concrete examples of how simple yet effective actions can make a real difference. From using plastic crates to prevent tomato losses in Asia to improving school meals to reduce plate waste, he shares examples of how innovation, data, and collaboration across the value chain can cut losses and create lasting impact.

The episode sheds light on how measuring where and why food is lost or wasted helps design smarter policies and empower farmers, companies, and consumers alike. Together, these insights point to a future where less food is wasted, more people are fed, and the planet’s resources are used more efficiently.
