The concept of food waste management (FMW) has gained traction with the declaration of food waste reduction as a target in the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Countries across the globe are showing greater interest in reducing as well as managing food wastage.The present gap between the amount of food waste generated globally and the number of storage and recycling facilities in operation translates to significant opportunities for the development of effective FWM technologies.The policies favoring food waste reduction in Europe and North America and the setting of global targets greatly aid the development of FWM technologies, according to a report by Frost & Sullivan. The most popular methods for FWM at present are composting and anaerobic digestion. However, they do not help salvage unspoilt food from the food waste.These processes can also be energy intensive, substantially reducing the overall environmental benefits of FWM.“Currently, there is a demand for technologies that can convert food unfit for human consumption to animal feed,” said TechVision research analyst Lekshmy Ravi. Technology developers are simultaneously working on repackaging or repurposing food waste to food for human .
