A group of supermarkets in New Zealand has eliminated the use of plastic packaging and wrapping for all fruit and vegetables. This new campaign is known as "Food in the nude" and the idea is to end all plastic packaging. https://albertonrecord.co.za/198508/food-nude-nz-ditching-plastic-packaging-fruit-vegetables-supermarkets/

Consumers are increasingly demanding our fuels and industrial materials are produced from more sustainable and renewable resources. Plant oils are the most technically suitable, low-cost alternative, but current production systems struggle to keep pace with the projected 50% increase in demand needed just for food use. Folear enables the production of oil in leaves of potentially any plant, rather than just the seeds and fruits of our currently limited array of oil crops. This renewable oil production is needed to meet both this food security challenge and the renewable fuel opportunity. Folear (previously called LeafOil) has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate3/LeafOil

Goterra takes food waste and feeds it to a specific breed of fly larvae before turning the larvae into protein-rich feed for livestock. This insect farm is run automatically.?It?s in a modular unit, which can be placed onsite for effective, safe management without the expensive transport or trucking associated with other food waste management systems. https://www.goterra.com.au
