Many innovative solutions to environmental and technological challenges facing our Dairy sector

According to the Food Sustainability Observatory at Polytechnic of Milan (IT), 8 out of 10 agrifood companies are embracing circular practices, turning waste into valuable resources. 🔄🌾 Within the Italian food supply chain, 182 000 tonnes of edible surplus find new life through innovative processes. Beyond traditional norms, from beer-infused biscuits to citrus-peel flour, and even coffee butter in cosmetics, the industry is witnessing a shift towards valorizing waste, fostering sustainability and innovation. Don't miss the opportunity to explore such transformative practices at #FoodRevolution2024, where we'll discuss circular economy principles, food waste and recycling within the food chain in Session 5. 🍏🔬 Visit our website to download to full program of the event >>> https://lnkd.in/dkdn3J3M
