Furthermore, I will touch upon the fact that collaboration across the supply chain, both with regards to technical compatibility as well as data sharing and how it will be a necessity to solve both the food waste problem, but also to gain the biggest advantages related to new technology.

I will talk about the sustainability challenges this brings, and how we have built food supply chains based on old behaviors and habits. We can reduce the sustainability impact from the food chain by streamlining the way we buy and prepare food, and lower the food waste and the climate impact from food production.
