Food security and food safety is now a major area of focus for stakeholders across the world. In the UK,  Queen’s University Belfast’s Institute for Global Food Security will play a key role in a new leading partnership which will tackle the global challenge of feeding the world’s growing population, as well as enabling the university to access up to €400 million in funding. The Institute has secured the partnership through the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

Save Food campaign was initiated with the goal to fight global food wastage and loss. The campaign is a joint initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Messe Dusseldorf and Interpack, a leading global trade fair for packaging and processes. The initiative aims at encouraging dialogue between industry, research, politics and civil society on food losses through a global alliance of all stakeholders. Save Food regularly brings together stakeholders involved in the food supply chain in conferences and projects it is involved in, where it assists them in formulating effective strategies. It is a macro-level enabler with tremendous networking reach that micro-level agencies on the ground can leverage.

Instead, they launched Banyan Nation in 2013, an organization dedicated to recycling plastic waste and churning out top grade and more durable plastic pallets. Selling top grade recycled plastic pallets wasn’t their only objective; rather, setting up a sustainable waste plastic recycling system was what they wanted to do and they succeeded in doing so with a lot of value for the Indian plastic recycling industry.

An IppStar Research project again attempts to look at an issue with facts instead of the erratic cut and paste numbers and information available on the internet. We believe that there is no short cut to investing in real primary research – face-to-face interviews with farmers, food traders, food processors, retailers and consumers.
