Lunchtime Talk: Wrestling the Giant of Food Wastage with New 3Rs: Responsibility, Resources & Reimagination

Join us at our Lunchtime Talk series that brings together the LEVEL3 and Unilever community to hear innovative startups share their ideas, insights and approaches. Lunch and learn with us and be inspired by our resident innovators!


Singapore is touted as a food paradise with many food lovers. Ironically, we are also an alarming producer of food waste. In 2016 alone, we produced nearly 31,000 double-decker buses worth of food waste.

Fortunately, this socio-environmental-economic problem has begun to receive growing attention. Corporates, governments and civil society are increasingly interested in taking on the giant by exploring innovative solutions and technologies.

Sustainability is no longer an addendum and aspiration, but an active agenda. Join Preston as he shares with us the changing narrative of food wastage in our world.


The session will cover these key areas:

  • Why should we even bother about the problem of surplus food?

  • How can technology and innovation save the day (or food)?

  • How have we been engaging businesses, government and civil society in fighting the giant of food wastage?
