Abstract
To feed the world in 2050 we need to increase total global food production by 70%. This will become increasingly challenging with a changing climate and limited arable land. By 2030, crop and pasture yield are likely to decline in many places. On the other hand, global food loss and food waste is high, estimated up to 30% of the food production. Transforming the waste to food could be one of the strategies to ease the pressure to food security. This presentation will report recent development and strategies to transform agricultural, horticultural and food industry waste into edible foods or food ingredients using a few case studies, including improving canola protein digestibility using extrusion; Stabilization of apple pomace for functional food ingredients and incorporation into extruded food products; incorporation of olive pomace into extruded food products.
