How can players at each link in the food value chain work to design out waste while creating value for their business and stakeholders? What other roles can zero waste advocates play within their own communities or organizations? Where are there still major opportunities?

Circular City Week is a yearly event that aims to transform industries and redesign urban living through different topics and mediums. This panel hosted by URBAN-X, The Grid, Just Salad, and Agritecture will explore how startups and existing businesses across the food value chain have evolved to create zero-waste solutions. Speakers will go in depth on what cost, operational, and culture barriers they ran into while attempting to innovate.
