The world already produces enough food to feed everyone on the planet, yet millions go hungry. The amount of food going in the bin is enough to fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks.

The world already produces enough food to feed everyone on the planet, yet millions go hungry. Why? Food waste. The amount of good food going in the bin is enough to fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks. Bumper-to-bumper, enough to circle the Earth seven times. And all that food costs money. In fact the average household could save almost $1000 year by buying only the food they ate. Now an army of waste warriors is taking action to help us all tackle the problem.

Aaron Heslehurst speaks to Claire Kneller, Head of WRAP's International Food Programme and Leanpath CEO Andrew Shakman. Their food waste management tech is used by everyone from Google to the Ritz Carltron about what can be done to win the war on waste.

Also on the show - can a plant based burger stack up against the real thing - the boss of beyond meat says it can and he's on this week's edition to Talking Business Weekly to make the case for it being a business gold mine that's both nutritious and delicious.
