Food-waste reduction has been treated as a step child in the opportunity space in food-tech with very little VC funding or government backing supporting innovation in this space. While its place in the global sustainability goals remains high, there is no real skin being added to the game of inventive techniques for waste management and prevention. 

The opportunities lie in understanding where within the range of possibilities may lie hidden gems that can display a tangible and immediate future accessible revenue pipeline. Largely, these involve initiatives that embrace wasted food as an asset, can mobilise and commercialize it with the sustainable goal acting as a causal effect.
