Co-hosts Sophie Chase Borthwick (our Data Ethics &amp; Governance Lead) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/about-us\/leadership\/tessa-jones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tessa Jones<\/a> (our VP of Data Science, Research &amp; Development) steered Shawn to share her insight and examples of where AI is helping combat this prevalent \u2018human\u2019 problem. Here we explore some of the episode\u2019s highlights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What a waste\u2026<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To say global food waste is a huge problem seems like an understatement. Nearly one third of all food around the world is currently being wasted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/resources\/report\/unep-food-waste-index-report-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Estimates also suggest<\/a> that 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are associated with food that\u2019s not consumed. In Shawn\u2019s own words, there are some stark facts that are hard to ignore:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn the United States about 40% of food is wasted while, at the same time, 40 million people in the US are suffering from hunger, including 12 million children. If we could reduce and redistribute food waste by 15%, we\u2019d actually feed more than half of those hungry people.&nbsp; And it\u2019s a similar story in Europe where 153 million tons of food is being wasted.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not just about hunger\u2026<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to hunger, food waste is directly connected to all kinds of additional concerns &#8211; such as resource conservation, carbon emissions, and climate change. Clearly hugely passionate about the subject, Shawn explains why we all need to commit to change.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWith our rising population, the situation is only going to get worse and, if we could reduce or redistribute that food waste, we could have a massive global impact.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where is it happening?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the US, 60% of food is wasted before it even reaches the consumer. In Europe, 55% to 60% occurs in consumer households. Whereas in developing countries, most waste happens during agricultural production. Where you are in the world\u2019s supply chains can make a big difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What part can AI play?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s increasingly clear that AI can and is starting to play an important role in turning the tide on food wastage. Exciting hi-tech innovations are enabling more sustainable farming &#8211; such as AI-enabled monitors, computer vision, remote sensing, as well as robots. Shawn highlights how this technology is revolutionizing vertical farming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe are now seeing single vertical farms that produce the same amount of fruit and vegetables as an 80-acre farm and they are using 97% less water.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Swedish company is transforming disused office buildings into autonomously controlled greenhouses and a company in Singapore has created the world\u2019s first low carbon hydraulic water-driven vertical farming system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the supply chain, AI is becoming an indispensable planning tool. And Shawn has seen this first-hand, thanks to her time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shelfengine.com\/?se_source=google_brand&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkooaw9zJ8pRtL4zSz3bOTJfvPbK99j7HzpKQwR_rgJeI8vtDPWacbcaAu6-EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shelf Engine<\/a> \u2013 an end-to-end grocery ordering solution using advanced AI<em>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe worked with grocery stores, using inventory simulations to optimize the freshness of food by predicting customer demand\u2026Connecting data across the supply chain facilitates better informed decisions.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knowledge is power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s a need for efficient and effective monitoring of what\u2019s actually being wasted \u2013 something AI now has the capability of doing in granular detail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAI-powered garbage cans equipped with weight sensors, cameras and computer vision have the ability to recognize and track the amount and type of food we\u2019re throwing away.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as in the home, these can be used in restaurants, hotels, and other businesses &#8211; enabling people to think carefully about their waste, while helping companies effectively monitor and understand what\u2019s being thrown away and when.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/info.winnowsolutions.com\/ikea-and-winnow-are-building-the-kitchen-of-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ikea partnering with Winnow Vision AI<\/a> to track kitchen waste using computer vision technologies. Well, Ikea then used this data to implement changes resulting in a saving of 20 million meals. That amounted to 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food for thought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Department of Agriculture has set a target of reducing food waste by 10% within the next decade. To achieve this, Shawn believes education in the capability of AI is the next vital step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe want to see more organizations thinking about the food that they waste and realizing how they can make a massive difference by adopting different AI technologies.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To hear more of our valuable discussion on how AI has the power to reduce food waste, tune in to our latest <strong><em>Beyond Data<\/em><\/strong> podcast episode now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\"block-video      \">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"video-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CAy7A2UW0-8\" data-lity class=\"video-item\" data-aos=\"fade-down\">\n\t\t\t\t<picture alt=\"\"><source media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-1280x822-c.jpg 0.914x,https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-1280x822-c.jpg 0.914x\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 576px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-800x600-c.jpg 1.000x,https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-1280x960-c.jpg 1.600x\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-400x300-c.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-400x300-c.jpg 1.000x,https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-800x600-c.jpg 2.000x\"> <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-400x300-c.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-400x300-c.jpg 1.000x,https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/4435\/Global-Food-Waste-800x600-c.jpg 2.000x\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"900\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/picture>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"play-icon\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"34\" height=\"40\" viewBox=\"0 0 34 40\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M31.18 16.8657L5.29472 1.56987C3.16212 0.319727 0 1.56987 0 4.58491V35.1766C0 37.971 2.94151 39.6624 5.29472 38.2652L31.18 22.9693C33.4597 21.5721 33.4597 18.2629 31.18 16.8657ZM30.0034 20.9103L4.11811 36.2061C3.3092 36.6474 2.35321 36.1326 2.35321 35.1766V4.58491C2.35321 3.40831 3.52981 3.26124 4.11811 3.62892L30.0034 18.9248C30.7388 19.366 30.7388 20.4691 30.0034 20.9103Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-51f7783f wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/insights\/blog\/the-dark-side-of-ai-energy-consumption-and-what-to-do-about-it\/\"><strong>&lt;&lt; PREVIOUS EPISODE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.calligo.io\/insights\/blog\/ai-bias-is-frequently-failing-the-lgbtq-community\/\"><strong>NEXT EPISODE &gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our latest Beyond Data podcast \u2018Global Food Waste &#8211; Can AI Offer a Solution?\u2019, we invited Data Science leader Shawn Ramirez to help us explore the global issue of food waste and discuss how AI has the power to make a difference.
