March 29, 2026, marks the UN's International Day of Zero Waste, which aims to raise awareness about sustainability, particularly in the food sector.

Chef Massimo Bottura has emphasized the need to reduce food waste, a significant concern given that approximately one billion tonnes of edible food is wasted annually.

This event serves as a reminder for stakeholders in the food supply chain to enhance operational efficiencies and implement strategies that minimize waste.
