Challenge 2: Reducing Food Waste
Alpha Protein (DE)
Alpha-Protein enables the scalable and cost-efficient rearing of insects as a sustainable and price-competitive protein source in food and feed by developing automated systems.
Alpha-Protein differs from the already producing companies by the self-developed and patented supply portal for feeding and supplying the insects, the consequent automation and the interdisciplinary approach, which combines biological, IT and mechanical engineering knowledge from the very beginning and uses common synergies.
Blue Lobster (DK)
A company that changes the way fish is bought and sold, by cutting out the long row of traditional middlemen in the industry. This is through a direct-to-consumer marketplace, sustainable fishermen and buyers of all sizes can therefore trade directly with one-another. Through these direct sales, fishermen can earn 2-4 times more, customers get their fish delivered straight from the harbour saving days of transporting, ensuring better quality produce.
TooGoodToGo (DK)
Too Good To Go is a social impact company and certified B-corp that is building a Movement against Food Waste by providing an innovative online marketplace/app that connects consumers with surplus food from businesses such as cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets at the end of the day through geo-localisation. This way we ensure that no edible food goes to waste and with that take direct climate action. Thus far we are present in 16 different countries across Europe and North America, have saved over 90 million meals, and have a community of over 43 million people and 120,000 stores saving food.
“Reducing food waste is the most effective and immediate action that individuals, businesses, and governments can take to combat climate change - it is the number one solution according to Project Drawdown”
Lemobs (BR)
Our solution supports municipal governments in managing school food by optimizing all the steps involved, from school food orders to student food evaluations. It manages menu planning, inventory and costs control, monitors child development (weight, height, allergies, intolerances, etc.) and aid with requests and deliveries of food. An intelligent assistant is used to: encourage greater use of sustainable and local family farming produce (VFL); provide menu compatibility with stock levels and nutritional adequacy, and we automatically place food orders considering meal planning.
We impact SDGs 2, 3, 4, 8, 11 and 12; reduce food waste by 20%; and lessen food ordering errors by 20%, and increase professionals' productivity by 33%. Through direct contracts with municipalities, we provide Software as a Service (SaaS) to public schools in Brazil at a cost of $100 per school, including the software, the tablet, and access to the internet.
