THE PROBLEM
Peak Harvest is an agricultural technology company that is focused on improving the ‘Global Food Waste Issue’.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, roughly 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted or lost every year, which is about one-third of all the food that is produced for human consumption in the world.
45% of all
FRUITS & VEGETABLES
PRODUCED ARE WASTED
Fruits and Vegetables have the highest wastage rates of all food product categories, reaching 45% of global production
While Peak Harvest is certainly not unique in trying to tackle the Global Food Waste Problem, we believe we have a “unique solution”
