Food waste disruptor: FoodMaven has set out to minimize food waste in the supply chain by connecting out-of-spec and over-supply product with end users clamoring for cost-efficient raw materials.
In 2016, FoodMaven was founded in Colorado Springs, Colo., to help eliminate the large amount of wasted food found throughout the supply chain, brought about by products deemed out of specification or over-produced.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global quantitative food losses and waste are roughly 20 percent for meat and 35 percent for fish annually. Package defects, such as leaks, often can be the cause of food that is lost or wasted.
