In a world where approximately 1 in 9 people are undernourished, it is deeply troubling to acknowledge that around 30% of all food produced globally ends up wasted. This staggering statistic highlights a critical issue within our food systems, where resources, labor, and energy are expended to grow food that never reaches the table.

As the global population continues to rise, the demand for food skyrockets, putting immense pressure on agricultural systems worldwide. Conventional farming practices often lead to soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
