We're racing towards smart labels for package level freshness visibility. In the meantime we developed "BearCub", a larger device that is trialing now with major UK retailers and protein processors. BearCub also enables consumers to measure their food freshness at home!

European fresh meat gets a 10 day shelf life. US fresh meat gets 30 days.  Huge difference for essentially the same product. European retailers have to sell food in 1/3 of the time before its wasted. To reduce it, we need to talk about the causes #foodwaste

There's a trade-off with food waste and food safety. If it's past the use-by date, do you waste it or risk it? The food industry has to balance this trade-off and they usually prioritise food safety #foodwaste

Food shelf-life is a fixed, conservative estimate. It has to be, to make sure we don't get sick. The consequence: Its mostly still good to eat when we bin it #foodwaste

Fertilizers help feed the world; too little and yields drop, too much and soil is ruined. We developed a new sensor & machine learning model to enable precision fertilization. We produce soil nitrogen data on-site instantly and predict it into the future.

Deaths from non #covid causes are way down, with a reported 40-60% drop in heart attack patients! Purported cause is people not going to hospital. But could it be the closure of unhealthy restaurants or, heaven forbid, people becoming health conscious?🤔

I walked into the supermarket across from the office to find empty shelves. The fridges had failed, and every chilled item was gone. What happened to the food, was it taken home by staff, donated to food banks? You already know. The problem is use-by dates are fixed,
