OneThird is using shelf-life prediction to prevent food waste, improve fresh produce quality, and save costs in all areas of the food system

There are a number of things that can reduce the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Here are a few of the top ones!

Not sure what the difference between FEFO and FIFO is? FIFO is a common approach because of its simplicity. However, shelf life can vary greatly between batches. Implementing FEFO ensures better freshness management.

You may be able to check your temperature to see if you have a cold, but sadly that doesn't apply to fresh produce. However, integrating temperature data with spectroscopy data can help to predict shelf life and understand how long something will be fresh for!

Ethylene is a chemical released by produce to start the ripening process. However, it can also cause products to have a shorter shelf life and eventually be wasted. By controlling ethylene, shelf life can be extended.

When food is wasted, the resources that went into producing that food are also lost. Here's how to help reduce food waste: ✏️ Have a weekly meal plan 👨‍🍳 Be creative with recipes 🥦 Finish leftovers More tips from Food and Agriculture Organization: bit.ly/2KiQp5q #GlobalGoals

Whilst the potato is the most wasted food at home, it’s second to sugar beet on farm #foodwaste. In total, 1.6m tonnes of #foodwaste occurs on UK farms, and 2m tonnes of surplus food arises. The combined value of all this food is more than £1 billion. #Farm24 Farmers Guardian

It's the year of fruits and vegetables. We all know how important these are for our nutrition. But do we also realize how much is lost between grower and consumer? on average 40%. That needs to change! fao.org/fruits-vegetab…
