Mindset change coming from the top at BAEMIN Some argue that the proliferation of online shopping and food ordering services has increased the demand for single-use plastic. How big a problem is this? Plastic waste is definitely among the most pressing issues that the food tech industry needs to find solutions for, besides food waste and increased carbon footprint. While people usually mention plastic waste only, I think it’s equally important to factor in other aspects of environmental challenges in the food technology industry that we face so we can come up with more solutions.

Koos Neefjes - Director, Climate Sense Ltd. A lot of agricultural production can improve in greenhouses for vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. You can control insects and therefore reduce or eliminate the use of insecticides, and you can reduce the amount of water consumed, harvest rainwater, and control drainage for treatment and reuse. Circular economy techniques are also easy to apply, including the composting of residues. Many of the techniques to increase production and product quality in agriculture or aquaculture require energy, including water pumping, lighting, aeration of aquaculture ponds, and storage of produce. Many flowers, fruits, and vegetables can benefit from protection from the harshest rainstorms, strong sunshine, and heatwaves. That is not just about mushrooms, orchids or coffee, which require shade, but also about all sorts of herbs and cucumber or squash.
