How can I reduce food waste?

The way we currently eat is damaging both humans
and the planet, and we have to act before it's
too late. One might think that we can not do a
lot about this because we all need to eat food.
But we could feed more people while drastically
reducing emissions and land-use caused by food.
There are many smart people working on solutions
to reduce the negative impact of food. Already
today there are great projects to produce food in
a more climate-friendly way, eliminate food
waste, and to promote more sustainable diets such
as veganism.

What is IoT?
IoT is an extensive network of interrelated
computing devices, digital and mechanical
machines, objects, animals, or even people that
are equipped with unique identifiers (UIDs).
Everything that is connected to this network is
capable of sharing data that contains information
like the current location of the device as well
as its location.   For instance, all devices that
you use every day (smartphones, tablets, desktop
computers, laptops, automobiles, electrical
appliances, etc.) utilize several forms of
technology that enable them to constantly
transfer their data in one single IoT platform.
Once the IoT platform receives the data, it
automatically integrates all the information
collected from various sources. This is where
analytics comes in, where essential information
is extracted from the stored data to be analyzed
and used for multiple purposes.

IoT Can It Be Used to Reduce Food Waste?
A growing problem that continues to succumb to
many food retailers today is no other than food
waste. The food industry in particular has
already lost billions of dollars annually due to
the waste of certain perishable items. Such a
problem may even make things worse by producing
tons worth of greenhouse gases which is not
suitable for the environment. The good thing is,
IoT can be a useful tool to minimize if not
wholly, prevent food waste.

• Prevent food waste with ESLs
• The use of Electronic Shelf Labels or ESLs by a
  growing number of companies all over the world
  makes them a major contributor to the popularity
  of IoT-based technologies. Perhaps the best way
  to impede the loss of profit from wasted food
  products is by implementing pricing strategies
  that can solve a bunch of other problems in daily
  business operations. While traditional price tags
  of the past are only designed for displaying
  prices on products, ESL tags can do much more.
  The product data showed by ESLs are digital and
  can be changed and updated in real-time, as they
  are all connected to a central server that
  enables them to be inputted on an IoT platform.
